DE STIJL
RECORDS
Independent label: De Stijl Records was
a Sub label of Epic/CBS Records. It managed three singles. Pressed By CBS
Pressing Plant, Aston Clinton. It issued singles in EPIC-4000 numerical series.
Distributed By CBS Records. Fashion was a British new wave band, primarily
active from 1978–1984, with a brief revival in 2009. They began as a post-punk
band, before developing into a new wave/synthpop ensemble that placed three
singles on the lower reaches of the UK chart in 1982–84. Fashion went through
several line-up overhauls during its initial existence between 1978 and 1984.
John Mulligan (synthesiser, bass) and Dik Davis' (drums) were constants, but the
band's frontman changed with each of the band's three albums. Fashion was formed
originally as Fàshiön Music, in Birmingham, England, in 1978, and consisted of
John Mulligan (bass, synthesizer), Dik Davis (drums), and Al James (vocals,
guitar). James became known as Luke Sky, or simply Luke (short for "Luke
Skyscraper" – a reference to the Star Wars character Luke Skywalker and the fact
that James was tall and thin), while John Mulligan was known simply as Mulligan
and Dik Davis simply as Dïk (or "Dik Mamba" on their debut single). In 1978,
they also founded their own Fàshiön Music label; from this point forward, the
band was generally (though not completely consistently) identified as Fashion,
as distinct from the name of their self-owned label.
