Fantastic !!! I was very young and a bit to pretty for a boy back then, but then it was the 80s after all. I wish I had said a little more but i was a bit star struck as Steve was my idol then. Thanks Steve I had an amazing day with you. I have not seen this clip for years. ( Im the boy in the clip by the way..!!)Ian xx

Hi. well next time you see him tell him i remember the filming of this clip like it was yesterday, although it was about 100 years ago. I has so pleased with my self when i turned up to film as they said i looked to good to thats why my hair is sticking straight up. They tryed to comb it flat.. it didnt work as it was so full of hair spray.. lol !! It was amazing to meet my idol Steve back then he was so nice to me. I hope he is doing ok i know he has had his problems. Keep well Steve. Ian x
Francesco Scognamiglio,Comme des garcon, john galliano,junya wantanabe,vivienne westwood,gareth pugh,ann demeulemeester,victor and rolf,issey miyake, the recent ss 2010 marc jacobs show. Sooo many other designers because they are always inspired and influenced by new romanticism. it will always be around.
Actually your right about them becoming bloody boring after a while and I got to admit I think Steve Strange is cool but Boy George was one of those fools and Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet lost it , especially Spandau Ballet as when they first came out they were very cool
Ever since grunge everyone dresses like the just fell off the turnip truck. What ever happend to people dressing up with some style and not looking like they walked in off the farm?
Yes everything is controlled by the media now, all the bad taste started in the late 80s there is no self expression or creativeness, everything is formulated now, everyone has to do what the media commands them to do, no individually.
duran duran had a teen following and were far too hip with the fashionista crowd but they didnt have the songs. and spandau ballet i mean they really bored me to tears as the 80's wore on. the only band that kinda carried on the new romantic early 80's futurist synth pop genre are The Killers. their first album is a corker, such a pity they went all bruce springsteen on the second album.
Check out Klaus Nomi ,he and Numan started the whole thing. Nomi was the most original character/artists ever, unique voice. Btw i agree on all your posts except where you say "grundge rebelled against the fake ass fashion crap" it was just another needed cycle of change that happens every few years still goes on to this day. Grundge was mainstream and boring at one point when it adopted a uniform & a musical format like punk. The next wave is coming, cuz everything is stagnant & uncreative now

Steve was a genius both in music and hair and clothing design and by the way he can put it all together. A true legend who is missed.
I love Steve's hair and clothes in the video!

No It stops here ; I was a fan of Steve Strange for a while but I realise now that it meant nothing but degeneracy.
The hair is dreadful
That's your opinion, but not mine!
No, the girl looks rather good!
