Bromley Contingent
From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia
The
Bromley Contingent were the group of followers and fans of the
Sex Pistols, including
Siouxsie Sioux, John Richie (aka
Sid Vicious), Steve Severin and
Billy Idol, from the Bromley area, that were a core group of the fashion
avant garde of the early
UK punk rock movement. Many of these people went on to form bands themselves. In the end they were perhaps even more important than
Malcolm McLaren's shops and
Vivienne Westwood's designs to the development of the early UK punk movement. The fashion statements made by Siouxsie Sioux, in particular, incorporating
fetish and
bondage clothing, and her innovative style of
makeup, continue to live on in
punk and
goth fashion.
