Vice Fashion - Fix Up Look Sharp

Sharpies emerged from Melbourne’s suburbs in the early 70s and evolved out of existence by the end of the decade. They wore jeans and tailor-made cardigans, which they would design themselves in an attempt to outdo all the other sharpies. They got their name for the simple reason that they liked to look sharp. We organised something of a reunion with a group of ex-sharpie friends and they gave us the down-low on “the good old days”. Photographer: Travis Hogg
