This article explores the editorial and photographic content of Vox , a Dublin magazine that covered the musical, artistic and sartorial tastes adopted by various subcultures on the streets of the Irish capital. Edited and published by Dave Clifford between 1980 and 1983, the magazine featured local and international post-punk bands, performance artists, writers and those on the scene. Particular reference is paid to the role of markets, such as the Gaiety Green, the Ivy and the Dandelion, as sites for the exchange of both ideas and goods. The creativity and self-expression embodied within these photographic spreads is analysed. The article draws upon scholarship on fanzines, subcultures and fashion and also augments the author’s research into the subject with additional oral histories and interviews conducted with market traders. National and international networks are traced and tracked with especial reference to London and Berlin as sites of culture and experimentation. It concludes with a look at the street as the locus for creative expression through music and clothes
