Logo for Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's Men of Fashion - The New Man? Fashion in the 80s

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen tells the story of dandyism and male peacockery through the ages. First the New Romantics, then the arrival of big hair, big shoulders, big salaries and big hangovers. How did fashion in the 1980s reflect the greedy consumerism of the times, and what happened when the bubble burst? A Just Radio production for BBC Radio 4.
