And indirectly, they were both quite influential. Another thing iis that some of the street-style, was in-fact a contemporary-fad. Also, that fit into the retro-concept of the film. As this fad did also at the time, incorporate 1930/40-style (also pushed slightly earlier by hi-fashion in major Western centers). It's conglomeration of retro-complementary fashion-styles, with a dash of futurism. The designers simply went for a plug n' play approach, under Ridley's direct-supervision. What they did come-up with, especially as to what made the film ...most of it already existed in some form in the present real-world. Maybe another reason the film was heavily criticized for not being futuristic enough.

Thank-you Svanya:) + 1 more that I had in my bookmarks that was very J.F. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlQWbnW1CoI]Mechanical Dolls (Vogue Italia Short)[/url] S:) LOL, yes ...this her in both your sets of mini-captures. Actually, that is one-thing that kinda bugged me about that sequence. As we do see many of the same street-people ...again n' again. Somewhat gives the scene, we ran outta-extras look. However, the removal of the spoon-feeding voice-over, makes-up for it. Although, when one does get to looking through many of the production, & promo materials ...you see much that didn't make the final-cut. Even quite a few far-out looking costumed extras. Also, with your last reply regarding "punk", & "gothic" ...not the correct words to describe this look. If anything that is a generalization, & with using those two descriptors quite loosely. However, I do realize if someone wasn't present in the UK, US, or Canada ...80s New Wave would be something almost alien. And from what I can see on the web, it's not well documented, nor even understood properly. I guess it was something that you really just had to the be there for it, LOL. Anyway, my point is that some of the street-style, was in-fact a complementary-fad. And that fit into the retro-concept of the film. As this fad did also at the time incorporate 1930/40-style (also pushed slightly earlier by hi-fashion in major Western centers). It's conglomeration of retro-complementary fashion-styles, with a dash of futurism. The designers simply went for a plug n' play approach, under Ridley's direct-supervision. What they did could-up with, especially as to what made the film ...most of it already existed in some form in the present real-world.
