A favourite
book with our customers and ourselves at
Fat Buddha Store has to be the book Cycle Chic from
Thames & Hudson. No longer is it just pedal and push, there's some preening involved in cycling
these days too, as testified by the author Mikael Colville-Andersen. This new book catalogues one man's journey to find the most stylish cyclists.
From gritty messengers to tweed-sporting bankers, from Pashley
princesses to high-tech roadies, cycle chic is everywhere you look. No
one is more attuned to the explosion of these new trends than Mikael
Colville-Andersen, who launched the first cycling fashion blog,
‘Copenhagen Cycle Chic’, more than five years ago. The blog went viral,
and there are now ‘cycle chic’ blogs from São Paulo to Mexico City, from
Tokyo to Vancouver, and from New York to Budapest.
Published in a
compact format targeted at the style-conscious and urban tribes of all
stripes, hundreds of images in this ingenious collection curated by
Colville-Andersen present the most charismatic combinations of
individual style and practical function and demonstrate how far cycle
wear has moved on beyond lycra.
The
book is available in store now at Fat Buddha Store and sits alongside our great range of books covering
Art,
Fashion,
Photographs,
Graphic Design, Architecture and much, much more. You can browse the collection
