New Romantic, London, late 80s, ST#57

The New Romantics or Blitz Kids had two basic stylistic moves: retro and futurism. And even the later was (in an ever so post-modern way) retro futurism. Can't remember this guys name but I do recall that he was nice to photograph and he was a (forklift ?) truck driver in his other life. For me these are the real streetstyle heroes - the guys and girls who risked all (including no doubt a bit of agro on the night bus home) for style.
