This is BIG hair


Quiffs and T�s

Quiff hairstyles grew ever more outrageous, fuelled by the influence of pop stars like Bryan Ferry, of Roxy music, with his Elephant�s Trunk quiff.

Political and subversive slogans began appearing on all sorts of celebrities� T-shirts. Jane Fonda protested against Vietnam in hers, and Coca-Cola sued an entrepreneur who altered the classic T-shirt featuring the Coca-Cola logo to read "Enjoy Cocaine".

In September a man wearing a T-shirt promoting a gay "hunky man" contest made the news when he was allegedly made to turn his shirt inside-out to enter Disneyland.
