Rising from the nihilistic ashes of the punk movement in the late 1970s a fresh crowd of flamboyant fashionistas who would later be christened the New Romantics began to materialise on the streets of London. An elaborately styled gender non-conforming response to the anarchist anti-fashion that preceded it the New Romantics came dressed to the nines be it for a night out on the town or just to pop down to the local shops. While so often remembered as a fleeting pop-cultural phenomenon this invigorating documentary firmly positions the New Romantics as a multidisciplinary art movement encompassing fashion performance music and film. Alongside this cultural re-contextualisation director Kevin Hegge shines a long-overdue spotlight on some of the movement’s lesser-known pioneers (step aside Spandau Ballet) while proudly centring the LGBTQIA+ stories that are so often erased from history.
