I've heard of new wave band Strawberry Switchblade but I don't know a whole lot about them, except of course the fact that they look like the love children of singers Siouxsie Sioux and Boy George, or maybe just like Siouxsie Sioux raided Boy George's wardrobe and mixed it up with some Victorian/Japanese Lolita influences.
Strawberry Switchblade made most of their own clothes and when they were asked who was on their 'boyfriend list' when being interviewed on a children's show in the 80's they answered "Boy George, because we could borrow his clothes." I find it interesting and strange that I can't think of any pop stars today who personally create their own stage outfits. I think if an artist's music is personal to them and means a lot to them then their image should reflect that.
Below is the (very polka dotty) film clip for their 1984 song Since Yesterday.
