Damien's expression for what descends on Camden Town on a Saturday, this shuffling lemming-jam of young peopleâŚCayce has spent hours here, escorting the creative executives of the world's leading athletic-shoe companies through the ambulatory forest of the feet that have made their fortunes, and hours more alone, looking for little jolts of pure street fashion to e-mail home."
