Style Icons: Phil Anderson
Sam Ackland
Not only was Phil Anderson a multiple Tour and Giro stage winner and Classics monster, he was without question an unassuming style icon. That majestic mane and the Oakley eyeshades will forever be a signature of classic 80s fashion.
‘Skippy’ wasn’t afraid to throw as many tones of fluoro as existed back in the age of Hypercolour t-shirts into his kit mix either, enabled somewhat by the hodge-podge that was the TVM jersey (which helped to make it awesome). Red booties and blue gardening gloves? “No worries mate, chuck a bucket on me head too, I’ll pull it off.” Somehow, it worked.
