About MeThis rather risqué leather ensemble embodies two moods of the eighties; that of the punk and of the romantic. Heavily influenced by music and popular culture the clothes found on the high-street were often diluted versions of those celebrities wore. Although this suit was bought from a shop in Kirkcaldy it mirrors the style of clothes worn by Madonna in the eighties.
