Messy, absurd, hilarious, and full to the brim with the joy of being alive on a sunny weekend in Shoreditch, these
pictures fizz with the throbbing life-force of this peculiar square mile of East London - big black blokes head to pointy
toe in gold lamé, a girl squatting in cowboy boots with a plastic pint glass who has the look of someone who’s not quite
sure what party she’s at anymore, wasted women who look like the best kind of trouble, and all the while there’s a
crashed car upside down in the street while the party gets madder all around it: in short, total fucking chaos, a chaos
I’ve never seen so condensed into one square mile anywhere else. I didn’t know people lived like this before I moved to
Shoreditch as a young man, and now, all these years later, as somebody who’s much more likely to be walking his dog
round the park than stuck five hours into a session come Saturday evening, I still can’t quite believe they do.
