Above is a collection of information i've currently found relating to the New Romantic genre, below are some key points i've found and which i would like to research further:
- synthpop
- 80's nightclub scene; Billy's, The Blitz
- flamboyant eccentric fashion; PX, Kahn and Bell
- frill fop shirts of early romanticism
- glam rock 70's era David Bowie
- rejected austerity & anti fashion stance of punk
- style inspiration: Russian Constructivism, Bonnie Price Charlie, 1930's cabaret
- androgynous; eyeliner + lipstick
- dismissal of eclectic clothes for sharp suits (after mainstream attention) around 1983
