EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the lives of three rebellious skinhead girls at Tolworth School, Surrey. In an era defined by fashion and youth culture, these young teenagers were ordered by their headmistress to let their hair grow, challenging the strict norms of the time. From left to right, we see Kim Goldsmith (13), Vicki Fowler (14), and Dena Van Hoorn (14) proudly displaying their evolving hairstyles on 27th February 1970. Their unity and friendship are evident as they stand together against societal expectations. The image not only documents a shift in fashion trends but also reflects the spirit of defiance among young people during this period. These girls symbolize a generation that sought individuality and self-expression despite facing opposition from authority figures. Arthur Sidey's expert photography beautifully captures this pivotal moment in social history. The photograph serves as a reminder of how hairstyles can become powerful symbols of identity and rebellion for teenagers navigating their way through adolescence. Decades later, this image remains relevant as it continues to inspire discussions about freedom of expression, gender roles, and the ever-changing landscape of youth culture. It is a testament to the enduring power of photographs in preserving our collective memories.
