the Jamaican movie Rockers (1978)

[AMcV'88]

was going to post this in the film room but i thought people in here would be more familiar in here.

i watched this for the first time this morning..can't believe this the first time seeing it.
loved it. the music, the color, the style.

(there is no doubt Stussy and Supreme have clearly been inspired by this movie)








that Gregory Isaacs performance



Horseface had a hell of a walk on him but all them boys had some struts on them.

like i said, i wouldn't be surprised if they looked at the movie and put their spin on the outfits in the movie and modeled their lookbook exactly like it.

bit of digging and Levi's Vintage did a whole collection based on it.
