Blitz Kids as stars of Bowie’s Ashes to Ashes video: Enhanced with visual effects from the then novel Quantel Paintbox, the video cost £35,000 (about £151,000 in today’s money) and was the most expensive music video made to that date, directed by David Mallet, 3 July 1980 on the beach east of Hastings. A long-standing collaborator, Natasha Korniloff, designed Bowie’s pierrot costume and Gretchen Fenston his hat, while he gave Richard Sharah a free hand to design the make-up. Providing the chorus are, from the left, Steve Strange, Darla Jane Gilroy, Elise Brazier and Judi Frankland. Strange’s black wedding dress with Stephen Jones head-dress and veil came from Judi’s graduation collection, as did her own, with Darla in her own ecclesiastical habit. Hats by Fiona Dealey and Richard Ostell. When they got back to London after filming, they all went clubbing at Hell. Video © 1983 Jones Music / EMI Records Ltd
