Author Description

Granny Takes a Trip chronicles the influential 1960s London boutique that defined rock and roll fashion for stars like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix, blending vintage and flamboyant styles with psychedelic culture. The book details the shop's origins with founders Sheila Cohen, Nigel Waymouth, and John Pearse, its expansion to New York and Hollywood, and its lasting impact on youth culture, counterculture, and the concept of secondhand fashion as high style.
