By Keanan Duffty, November 2013.
In 1984 I was photographed in London for I.D.
magazine by the wonderful Marc LeBon, wearing a plastic Ziggy
Stardust style jump suit, full make up and diamond sneakers. On the opposite page was Dylan
Jones, now the Editor of British GQ, wearing a striped satin Jean Paul Gaultier
smoking jacket, white gloves, spats and carrying a silver topped cane. The
strange thing is, at the time our outfits were not considered unusual. Most of
our contemporaries dressed like that. Everyone in London’s nightclub culture
dressed like that. You were weird if you didn’t. The ‘de Rigueur’ attire for
any self respecting trendy came from a handful of boutiques scattered around
London.
