EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, an old lady is captured in a moment of contrast as she walks past a strip club in the heart of Old Soho, London, in 1986. The image, first published in The Daily Express, presents a striking juxtaposition of youth and age, innocence and sensuality, and the mundane and the extraordinary. The bustling street of Old Soho, with its vibrant energy and eclectic mix of businesses, serves as the backdrop for this intriguing scene. The photograph captures the essence of the area, which was once known for its bohemian spirit and its thriving adult entertainment industry. The old lady, dressed in a modest coat and hat, appears oblivious to the allure of the strip club, her gaze fixed straight ahead as she walks determinedly down the street. In contrast, the neon lights of the club beckon, casting an otherworldly glow on the girls in the window, who tease and tantalize the passersby with their nudity and naughty performances. The photograph invites us to ponder the complexities of life in Old Soho during this time, where the old and the new, the ordinary and the extraordinary, coexisted in a delicate balance. It also raises questions about the nature of the striptease industry and the role it played in the lives of the women who worked in it, as well as the people who watched and were entertained by them. Overall, this photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and diverse character of Old Soho, and the many stories that lie hidden within its streets. It invites us to look beyond the surface and to appreciate the complexities and contradictions of urban life.
