1981-1982 “Worlds End Pirates”
The third and final remodelling of the shop. A complete exit from the Punk ethos. The shop looks like a listing pirate ship with sloping wooden floors. Internal and external clocks that have 13 numbers and run backwards. Frock coats, sashes and waistcoats in Madras and Brocade material alongside chisel toed Pirate boots. The multi-layering of garments indicate sumptuous luxury. McLaren’s new group Bow Wow Wow use Burundi drumming and ethnic chanting for the new 1980s soundtrack.
