What have Dr Dre and Jack Nicholson got in common? They’ve all been styled by David Thomas, of course!
An unemployed plumber in the 1980s with the seemingly impossible dream of becoming a stylist, it was a grant from the Prince’s Trust that gave David a kick-start in the world of fashion. For this reason ten per cent of the book’s proceeds will be donated to the trust.
Boasting more than 300 iconic photographs, sketches, magazines, Polaroids and iPhone snaps — and a foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales — Vanity Project is a story of how fashion and celebrity shaped popular culture over the past three decades.
