Scarce countercultural artefact. Baron Wolman worked for Rolling Stone in the 60s and decided to club together with a couple of others to document more interesting people i.e. the ones they all saw walking along the Haight and hanging around San Francisco's more left leaning squats and communes. The result is Rags, the first ever street style magazine, and one of the first magazines to document fashion (or anti fashion) from the street rather than the catwalk or society. This one has Tattoos, Janis Joplin, underwear, Ara Gallant with photos by Peter Hujar, clowns, t-shirts.
