Chad, Jono and Mig, Twig, Beatie and Whitey walking down the street at Blackburn South shops, Larry Jenkins, 1975.

As a teenager, Larry Jenkins photographed his fellow Sharpie gang members against the suburban backdrop of Blackburn South. Their street-tough style was defined by the clothes they wore, the bands they followed and their distinctive cropped hairstyle with its bleached tail. Sharpies wore striped cardigans or 'connies', made by local knitters Conte and Sangs. Handmade shoes had chisel toes and Cuban heels and came from Feney’s or Acropolis Shoes. The Sharpies' detailed attention to their style was a response to the perceived conservatism of 1970s Melbourne suburbia.
