Celebration Blitz magazine - style bible for 80 Mini-Club

  Eighties fashion has given us many things - batwings, shoulder pads and big hair between them. Then there was the style magazines, publications dedicated to youth and freshness, long before the word "hipster" has entered the mainstream. Three launched in the UK in 1980 alone to life - the face that has been known for a pop approach to fashion and closed in 2004, ID streetstyle specialists still there and recently bought by Vice Media and lightning, a magazine created by two Oxford students, Labovitch Carey and Simon Tesler. From the arty end of the spectrum, he inhabit the poor clubs like London, which documents his name together.

At home, on the moodboard a fashion student, perhaps, but faded into obscurity for most - Since the fold in 1991, Flash has received a cult following. That could change now. The shoots of the magazine were collected in a book, as seen in flash, for the first time, and the ICA in London presents a series of interviews this weekend with, among other things, the designers behind the label BODYMAP Model 80s and Barry Kamen. "It gets pretty messy, I think," said Iain R Webb, who edited the book and held talks. "But that's the best way."

Webb worked as a fashion editor of the magazine from 1982 to 1987, he speaks from experience. The title of the ICA weekend, we are not here to clothes, sums up the approach of the flash mode to sell. "I had carte blanche," he recalls, "children modeling Jasper Conran evening wear, my parents Comme des Garcons." Other notable images include club search Princess Julia bring the blanket she woke, depressed adolescents from smoking and a whole fashion shoot shades instead of clothes. "Was to create personas and clubs," says Webb. "You would have a next Rockabilly Little Bo Peep, along with a existentialist."

The flash moment in the spotlight can be used as part of a wider re-evaluation of 80 living culture of the London club, a book about the dress-up club Kinky Gerlinky seen was recently published and an exhibition titled Club Catwalk coming soon to the V & A. " I think it is a similar moment now, and that's why it resonates, "said Webb. "Thatcherism had begun. We had nothing, so we had nothing to lose." However, Webb said a recovery would not work. "It's like James Dean or Kurt Cobain," he said. "They still have a huge impact, but it would resonate when they were still there today What I hope is to see the seeds of it to inspire a new generation."
