Casuals: The Story of the Legendary Terrace Fashion (2011)

Some thirty years ago, a workingclass subculture was taking grip of cities across the UK that has left a lasting legacy. Produced and researched by Cass Pennant, this film strips away the myth and will give you the real story of an often overlooked casual movement that birthed in cities like Liverpool, Manchester and London. This began on the back of the mod revival of the late 1970s when notorious football firms stole expensive designer sportswear from the countries they visited. It didn t start with the highstreet giants telling these lads what to wear. Instead, they set the trends and the highstreet stores caught up. As the 1980s began in Britain, under the radar the casual had already arrived. By interviewing personalities who were at the heart of the story at the time this groundbreaking film pays a tribute to a time when football and fashion mattered more than corporate hospitality and sanitised stadiums.
