EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to 1985, where the spirit of the 1950s Rock and Roll era was alive and well among the young people of Cornwall, England. The scene is set in a dimly lit dance hall, the air thick with anticipation and excitement. A young man in a pristine Teddy Boy jacket and slicked-back hairstyle confidently leads a young woman in a swirling, wide skirt and a spotted dress, both adorned with the iconic DA hairstyles of the era. The room is filled with the infectious energy of Rock and Roll music, as other dancers enthusiastically join in, their faces lit up with joy and nostalgia. The 1980s may have been the era of Pop and Disco, but for these young people, the allure of the 1950s and its Rock and Roll roots was too strong to resist. The fashion of the time, with its bold colors, swirling skirts, and eye-catching jackets, is on full display, adding to the overall sense of fun and excitement. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of music and fashion to bring people together, transcending the boundaries of time and place. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Cornwall and the unique ways in which its residents chose to celebrate their past. The swirling skirts, the wide jackets, the DA hairstyles, and the infectious energy of the dancers all come together to create a moment frozen in time, one that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
