What were the fashion aspirations of Yangon's youth during the military regime of the 1970s? The book gives a rare view of the pictures that brought a spark of free expression to the fashionable young people of the city in the late seventies, made in the studios around the university. They show that fashion always comes through, whatever the barriers, and that whatever the conditions people live in, they want to look beautiful and to present themselves as such.
