This is a re-release of my episode from last year with Roger K Burton. Roger sadly passed away recently. I decided to make this episode free so more people can here his story and honour his memory. Roger was a huge influence in British Subculture. The best thing about when I spoke to Roger was that after I started to meet different people in London whose lives had all at one point been touched by him, people who worked for him at in the 80s, 90s up until recently, and hearing there fond memories of him. Roger is a Costume Designer, Stylist, Collector, Curator and Author. His book Rebel threads (which I can't recommend more) takes you through the youth subcultures that were happening in the UK during the 20th century alongside amazing photographs and his own personal recollections within them. He founded Contemporary Wardrobe where many creatives, stylists, designers rent from his clothing archive which coexists with his exhibition space the Horse Hospital, a space so many diverse and underground artists have shown their work. In this episode Roger speaks on subcultures, recounts being a Mod in the 1960s, the punk era in 70s, creating the shop designs for Vivienne Westwood's World's End store on the Kings Road in Chelsea, his journey collecting and selling vintage, opening Contemporary Wardrobe and the Horse Hospital, Costume Designing the cult classic films Hackers and Quadrophenia, styling fashion and music icon David Bowie, the fashion scene today and so much more. Roger was truly one of a kind 3
