Biographical / Historical

The shop Boy London was opened by Steph Raynor and John Krivine in March 1977. Celebrated for its infamous window displays on Kings Road, Boy was the 1980s' "must have" label and the epicenter of a new dawn in both fashion and music, defining the spirit of punk and birthing the New Romantic scene that appeared in its wake. The prominence of the label continued throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s.
