Remember this style and music of the 80's? The look dubbed New Romantic was popular and was reinforced by hot chart topping pop groups of the time such as Adam And The Ants, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Visage, Haircut 100, Flock of Seagulls, Kajagoogoo and at the time, even Bowie.
Typical romantic glamour had the swashbuckling style of pirates and buccaneers. Full sleeved frilly pirate shirts, hussar style jackets of velvet or silk complete with braiding and broaches... Guys wearing as much makeup as the gals... The look was flamboyant in an attractive, beautiful, narcissistic kind of way.
Remember the dramatic NewRo dance moves? I remember the clubs actaully having NewRo nites.
Were any of you into this? Do you even remember it?
