Gavin Watson shoots Farah Vintage for Artrocker Icons
With what started off as photos taken of his friends in his teenage years, Gavin Watson has built up a reputation as one of the most influential and sought out photographers in the industry.
Publishing his first book ‘Skins’ in 1994 – a dedication to his father who had bought him his first camera from Woolworths – he gained public attention for his raw photographic style, shot in an era where digital editing was long from being invented. Further down the line came another two other books, Skins & Punks: Lost Archives, 1979-1985 and Raving ’89 – with both books showcasing the life of youths heavily involved in the skinhead subculture in working-class Britain.
Today, with work under his belt for names such as Dazed & Confused, Vogue, Vice & Maxim Magazine, Gavin Watson is working in collaboration with Artrocker magazine shooting ‘Artrocker Icons’ in Farah Vintage clothing.
For the next 6 months Artrocker magazine will showcase icons such as Toby Butler from The Dukes Spirit, Kaiser Chiefs and the Maccabees in polished, heritage style Farah Vintage garments, tying in perfectly with Gavin Watson’s earlier work.
Part 1 features Toby Butler from The Duke Spirits – out now in the March issue of Artrocker.
Toby is wearing White Mills Stretch Trousers and a Black Ives Polo.

Farah celebrate 90th Anniversary
Wednesday 6th January saw Britain swamped in a tide of freezing snow, but the weather was in no way going to inhibit the spirits at the Soho Sanctum, where we were celebrating our 90th Birthday party.
On entering guests were immediately enveloped by warmth – the room beautifully lit. As the night got under way revellers were treated to a host of delight as mini bangers and mash and mini fish and chips were accompanied by special Farah cocktails. And once the cockles were warmed, so was the soul, as Daley stepped up to the mic to court the beautiful crowd, with his rasping silk neo-soul tones. It added perfectly to the relaxed and congenial atmosphere, and with the The Schizodelic Sound DJs cranking out some belters from old-skool to nu.
A top night capped with a party bag for all party-goers, if our 90th is anything to go by, we can’t wait til 2020!
