But then came glam rock, then punk, which was both dark and glamorous, and in the early 1980s, there was still no money, but there was an atmosphere of optimism and freedom. The people at the Blitz, a club in Covent Garden, were the movers and shakers of the New Romantic era, and I was fascinated by them.”<\/p>\n As Sheila herself says, street fashion was at its peak then, and the pavements and nightclubs were literally like catwalks. \\\\\\’There were all sorts of characters in the clubs, from Boy George to Steve Strange. Everyone was dressed up. Once you know the glitz and glamour, it\\\\\\’s hard to go back to the bland stuff.<\/p>\n Please note that the color of the products may vary depending on the settings and nature of the computer monitor and the environment (light level and brightness) in which the actual products are viewed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
