Sorry to contradict you Woofy, but you can blame the Bands directly for the 80s "New Wave" style Adam & the Ants, ABC, Culture Club, Haircut 100, Any New Romantic band i.e. Visage, Ultravox (The Midge Ure years) Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, A Flock of Seagulls & even David Bowie & Madonna had a fashion influence on the era. The movies & TV mostly got it wrong & pretty consistently.
