The first of a collection of images of artists who have inspired and influenced my own personal style from my teenage years to now. As a teenager growing up in the 1980's I loved the the innovative, creative and alternative styles and sounds from bands like Visage.
Steve Strange and his band Visage were one of the biggest influences behind the New Romantic movement in the late 1970's/early 80's. The Blitz, in Covent Garden, London was home to an ultra chic crowd of fashion designers, musicians, artists and hairdressers and the more outrageous you looked the better. Extravagant hair and make up with a flamboyant outfit to match went hand in hand.
The Blitz Kids included the likes of Steve Strange, Boy George (Culture Club) , Marilyn and Martin Degville (Sigue Sigue Sputnik).
30 years later and Steve Strange is still looking fabulous!
