The Life and Times of Malcolm McLaren



The Life and Times of Malcolm McLaren book by Paul Gorman

Plus – added bonuses! – cameos from Kate Moss, Polly Mellen and Anna Wintour and a young model in original grunge-wear on a go-see. (This footage is from the early 90s).

Watch it here and thank me later… UPDATE: DAMN! District MTV is no more and that footage is nowhere to be found. Sigh! Sorry folks…
