                              The Rider (1968 MacMillan)

The book was originally published in 1968 by MacMillan and is still a rare and much sought-after publication for bikers and style enthusiasts alike. Many of the photographs were taken during 1965 and 1966 in the Midwestern United States while Danny Lyon, the photographer, was a member of the Chicago Outlaw Motorcycle Club.

Some of the images (especially the bottom right image in the above montage) are so reminiscent of Versace’s recent F/W 12 runway show  that it really complements the trend.
