This book was created by our friend Bay Garnett and Kira Joliffe back in 2007, the hardback book version of their hip cult magazine ‘Cheap Date’.
Bay told us that “the whole philosophy for the book was about doing it YOUR own way – of being inspired and influenced from different cultures, movies, thrift stores, music…and that you can do it without spending money. It really was and is about empowerment. That’s the bottom line. That being individual and going for it and celebrating it is wonderful!
Hayley Mills loves Cheap Date
I was captivated and intrigued by a history before my time, lured by their loner mentality and enticed by their rebellion. This is a style guide like no other, the ultimate gift of discovery, history and knowledge. It’s the antithesis of the ‘herded and fed'”
