Clarks in Jamaica

Updated with new content, the revised second edition includes interviews with dancehall artists such as Ninjaman, Chronixx and Jahvillani, behind-the-scenes photographs from the film Rockers, insights into Jamaica’s favourite styles of Clarks from former company employees who were involved in their creation, and an expanded chapter on Jamaican style detailing the histories of fashion staples such as the string vest (mesh marina), Arrow shirt, knits ganzie and beaver hat.

Beautifully presented and thoroughly researched, Clarks in Jamaica is a fitting tribute to Clarks’ deep roots in Jamaican culture and the rich cultural exchange that has taken place between Jamaica and the UK.

Researched, written and designed by Al Fingers.
Chief photographer Mark Read.
