New Romantics: The Look
The New Romantics rose from the ashes of punk and celebrated the spirit of David Bowie at clubs throughout the UK. Dave Rimmer assesses the style and impact of Boy George, Steve Strange, Spandau Ballet and others who drove this media friendly, club-based 80s style movement that mixed music with fashion, entrepreneurialism and art.

Excellent book that chronicles the New Romantic movement in London and beyond. Not only does it detail the major players and places in the movement, it provides the backstory on the style tribes that influenced this movement. Gorgeous photos accompany the text. A must for any collector.

Photos are great but the text in this book started off disjointed and nonsensical. It got more coherent as it went on, however.
