Elms’ book, published to coincide with the exhibition, examines the influential club that sparked a creative movement in music, fashion, and art.
Thought-Provoking Statement:
As we explore how subcultures like the New Romantics shape the mainstream, it raises the question: how can modern movements leverage the lessons of past cultural flashpoints to foster inclusivity and creativity in today’s landscape?
