Don't remember seeing this before, and í'm pretty sure that í would, as it's written by my most favourite magazine writer, formerly of 'Smash Hits ', 'The Face ', 'Details ', 'Rolling Stone ' and now 'GQ ' {US} ~ Chris Heath.
Sadly, or happily, he never got to properly interview Morrissey {yet}, think he may have done a wee gobbet in ver 'Hits' back in the day. He is/was a fan. Wrote an interesting review of 'Autobiography '. But a close encounter with Prime Moz would have been the stuff of {my} dreams.
Anyway, this is a piece about The Smiths & fashion. And no, í don't remember what the hell 'normcore' was either...

Has more than a hint of 'Mr Morrissey ~ the newly-arrived student geography teacher ~ has unexpectedly been left in charge of the Remedial Class Outing. Seen here having pots of fun with Jolly Johnny, Thick Mick & Handy Andy'...?
.
Gosh, there's a lot to think about in this piece. (At least for me.) A good read.
So much of what he describes as rather obscure is an integral part of 'The Smiths puzzle' ... to me.
But anyway... while I brood over this article, here are a couple more shots of Our Love in glasses and striking houndstooth from the same shoot...
