About
Most of us consider taste to be a primal instinct. We like the things we like and everything we choose to consume, covet or loathe in our day-to-day lives is dictated by this unknowable force ... But at some point, we learn to not fully trust our own taste. We accept that there are people who have better taste than us, so we stop following the flutter of our hearts and attempt to finetune our brain to fall in line with what others consider to be 'good'.
'The Polyester Book of (Bad) Taste' is an antidote to this ever-creeping homogeneity and bland tastefulness. Edited and introduced by Polyester editor-in-chief, Ione Gamble, it is a bible on how to navigate our own likes, dislikes, apathies and adorations.
In a world constantly vying for our attention, having faith in your own (bad) taste is more than a small subversion - it's a rallying cry to live our lives unapologetically.
Featuring multi-award winning broadcaster, journalist and author of 'Slay in Your Lane' and 'The List' Yomi Adegoke and Gina Tonic, culture and sex writer from South Wales who has been named 'the writer and editor empowering a generation of fat babes'.
