In ‘Granny Takes a Trip: High Fashion and High Times at the Wildest Rock n Roll Boutique’, author Paul Gorman brings the full colour story of the original rock and roll fashion shop into sharp, exhilarating focus. What began as an art driven retail experiment in London’s Worlds End grew into a cultural beacon, drawing musicians, artists, and style pioneers who embraced its fearless designs and anything goes energy.
With deep access to first hand accounts and rare personal archives from Freddie Hornik, Paul Gorman captures how the boutique became a global pop cultural force across London, Manhattan, and Hollywood. Beautifully illustrated with archival photography, the book builds to a stunning 48 page exploration of The Rolling Stones’ custom wardrobe, making this an essential and genuinely thrilling celebration of fashion, music, and creative freedom.
