Honours Project

 

How did the ‘New Romantics’ of the Twentieth-Century and the ‘Macaronis’ of the Eighteenth-Century, inadvertently highlight political ideologies by dressing in an openly androgynous style?

 
 
In addition to my written dissertation, I will be designing and constructing one costume with a mix of both eras, which reflects and supports this argument. I will be using this blog as an online sketchbook, demonstrating my research and journey to my final costume and written argument. All image and written referencing can be found at bottom of blog.
 
 
Abstract
 
This dissertation explores the androgyny found with the fashions of the New Romantics (1980s) and the Macaronis (1770s). It looks into how and why each sub-culture exhibited a high degree of androgyny within their choice of clothing. Through the aid of Judith Butler’s theory on how gender is presented within society, with regards to her study of ‘gender performativity’, this dissertation examines whether these androgynous fashions highlighted political ideologies of the time and whether or not this was their ultimate aim. With the general consensus that effeminacy of male fashion constitutes homosexuality, this study explores how society marginalises those who step outside the absolute standard of gender norms in regards to fashion, and how they are consequently punished with reference to historian Rictor Norton’s (2004) findings on homosexual scandals.  
This study focusses on a detailed analysis on both fashion groups and how similarities can be drawn between the two. With regards to the Macaronis, this dissertation explores primary sources from The Public Ledger (1772) and The Town and County (1770), both of which give evidence to the summaries stated above. In order to assess the political discourse at the time of the New Romantics, this study looks into the repression felt by many during the time of Margaret Thatcher’s reign over Britain, and how this affected the fashion motivations of the New Romantics, whether intentionally or not. This study concludes that both groups inadvertently highlighted their political ideologies at the time.

Understanding the New Romantics

 
 
‘The New Romantics’ of the early 1980s, took much of their fashion inspiration from the punk movement and glam rock stars of the 1970s (Parker, 2014). New Romanticism “ultimately sought to contrast with the austerity of punk” (Stevens, 2010) and is therefore seen as a reaction to the punk movement. Arguably starting in the heart of London at ‘The Blitz Club ’, musician Steve Strange ran a private party every Tuesday for a year in Covent Gardens, where only “outrage secured entry” (Johnson, 2009).  The movement was known for its flamboyance and eccentricity demonstrated by pop icons of the time. Music was a huge influence on fashion in the 1980s and artists such as Boy George, Steve Strange, Adam Ant and David Bowie were trendsetters for these androgynous styles.

At The Blitz Club, the New Romantics began to steer away from the increasingly unpopular punk style of ripped jeans, t-shirts with offensive slogan printed on them, and cropped, spiked hair (Figure 11). It is arguable however that the punk ideology was continued with the New Romantic sub-culture “as it took the belief that anyone could be an individual, but [was] executed in a more posed manner” (Videodrome Discotheque, 2013).



The New Romantics displayed this individuality through frilly fops shirts, pirate hats and full make-up. (Below)

The New Romantic era depicted here by Adam and the Ants. This look had a huge inpact on fashion, incorporating both aspects of Pirate and Highway man type clothing. The continuation of men using bold make-up is evident.

Calling themselves ‘The Blitz Kids’, figure 10 and figure 11 demonstrate the parallels the New Romantics held with the androgynous clothing worn by the Macaronis. Although the New Romantics are not immediately recognisable as being directly influenced by the Macaronis fashion, both styles exaggerate the traditional way of dressing in a conservative Britain and steer away from simple designs. In addition, both use intricate embellishments, eccentric trimmings and layers of garments to display androgyny.

Top: Figure 10, “You need more than a feather to look this good” (Anon, 1770). Bottom: Figure 11 of Boy George (1980). Although satirical, figure 12 demonstrates the sheer exaggeration of usual male dress at the time. Although the musician in figure 13 is not wearing specific items of clothing that can be seen as a direct influence of the Macaroni, it is clear that both images portray androgynous clothing in its extremity. It is perhaps the connotations of each style in history therefore, that presents parallels between the two.

Vivienne Westwood's Pirate Collection, 1981

 
Arguably, another rebellion against the political discourse of the time is fashion designer, ‘Vivienne Westwood’ who was a pioneer in the New Romantic style of the 1980s (Wilcox, 2004). Not only was she known for her earlier work with the punk look, which is described by Westwood (n.d.) as her way of using fashion to “express [her] resistance and [her] rebellion”, but her collection ‘Pirate Line’  was an impetus for the New Romantic style.

In presenting an androgynous style, Westwood demonstrated the start of this 1980s ideal that fashion could become a means of merging the two genders. Androgyny was becoming significant in progressive fashion, and like the Macaronis of the 1770s, the New Romantics’ androgynous style inadvertently outlined political repression at the time.


 
 
The New Romantics - political discourse

 
There is no grounding evidence to suggest that the New Romantics and the Macaronis had any political agendas. It is clear however that their choice of dress highlighted significant political and social issues during their times. It seems likely that both groups merely used fashion as a way of demonstrating their desire for change in styles, which went against a traditionalist Britain at the time (Johnson, 2009).

Change in perceptions
 
Androgyny in fashion has changed dramatically over the past one hundred years. Since the beginning of World War One, women’s fashion has become gradually more masculine due to the practical demands of hard labour (Beynon, 2002). Dresses and skirts typically associated with female fashion were exchanged for trousers and shirts. The 1970s saw the beginning of unisex fashions, including jeans, bell bottoms and platform heels.

The 'Macaronis' - 1770s
 
 
‘Macaroni’ was the name given to young men based in London from the 1750s to the early 1770s, who demonstrated effeminate characteristics through the exaggerated and outlandish clothing they wore (McDowell, 1997). The name ‘Macaroni’ derives literally from the name of the famed Italian pasta, macaroni.
 
 Caricatures at the time show that men dressing in this way were known as the ‘Macaronis’ (Figure. 2). It is however unclear whether these men referred to themselves by this title. Caricatures, by definition, exaggerate and satirise popular culture and therefore the term ‘Macaroni’ may be pejorative. To England at that time, McDowell argues that Italian food was considered “slippery” and “unreliable”, and the name therefore, was deemed anti-traditional and not positive in comparison to the “the roast beef of old England” (1997, p.45). Even in Italy, the word ‘Macaroon’ derived from the seventeenth century meaning of a “buffoon” (The Oxford Dictionary, 2015).

The ‘Town and County’ magazine describes in detail, what constitutes a Macaroni:

 

Macaronis—They make a most ridiculous figure with hats of an inch in the brim, that do not cover but lie upon the head, with about two pounds of fictitious hair, formed into what is called a club, hanging down their shoulders as white as a baker's sack. The end of the skirt of their coat reaches the first button of their breeches which are either brown-striped or white, as wide as a Dutchman's; their coat sleeves are so tight they can with much difficulty get their arms through their cuff which are about an inch deep; & their shirt sleeve without pleats, is pulled over a bit of Trolly lace. Their legs are at times covered with all the colours of the rainbow ; even flesh-coloured & green silk stockings are not excluded. Their shoes are scarce slippers, & their buckles are within an inch Of the toe. Such a figure, essenced & perfumed, with a bunch of lace sticking out under its chin, puzzles the common passenger to determine the thing's sex.  (The Town and County, 1770)

The Macaronis originally took their fashion inspirations from Italy and France, where these well-travelled men would return to Britain wearing these extravagant styles (McDowell, 1997).

Figure 25
 
Society's antipathy towards the Macaroni can be found in the Public Ledger (Anon, 5 Aug 1772 cited in Norton, 2004): ‘A crime imported from Italy by our spindle-shanked Gentry, who make the grand Tour but to bring home the vices of our Neighbours, and return, if possible, greater Coxcombs than they were before Embarkation’. The extravagance and opulence of these countries can be seen through the Macaronies unusual choice of fabric patterns, striped waistcoats, stockings, fans, perfumes and excessively tall wigs donned with a small hat and feathers, exaggerating its proportions (Chenoune, 1993).

The name of the group had other connotations in particular with reference to the reputation of Italy at the time. Italy was known to Britain for its unnatural practises of sodomy (McDowell, 1997) Whether these acts of homosexuality were in fact true or merely speculation at the time is unclear, although this belief was enough to suggest that the Macaronis were given this foreign name as a reflection of their own reputation for sodomite behaviour, which was evident through the many convictions given to Macaronis for this act.
 
 
Figure 30
 
 
 
 Furthermore, their deconstruction of gender norms perhaps expressed their transgressive identities and consequently led to their perceived association with homosexual practices. As stated by Stratton (2000), “from this time on, in Britain at least, male display in costume or manner was associated with effeminacy and same-sex sexual activity”. The Macaronis were perhaps an impetus in changing wider social perceptions of masculinity. Although some Macaronis were known to be homosexual, this does not however allow conclusions to be drawn about the Macaronis in general.
 

Examples of Macaroni garments

 
 

Original clothing from this period is surviving today, however there is no evidence to suggest that these pieces belonged to a person known as a Macaroni. However, there are similarities in these garments to the caricatures above and from both these sources, I have been able to create a design that is both representational of a Macaroni and a New Romantic. Below are individual garments from both periods which have influenced my design, along with the images above.

If you look closely at the caricatures below, you can see the short tails of the coats, which was typical of Macaronis at the time. Proof of this can further be found in 'The Town and County' of 1770s: "The end of the skirt of their coat reaches the first button of their breeches".

Breeches

When beginning this study, I originally intended to make two separate costumes. One being Macaroni inspired, the other being New Romantic. However, I decided to make one costume which encompassed both periods in history. I therefore re-designed my costume and replaced these breeches with New Romantic 80s inspired trousers, yet with an influence of the Macaronis. Similarly, I added aspects of the New Romantics to my Macaroni jacket and wig. Below is my original research into breeches before changing my design.

New Romantic Patterns

Due to my change in design, I will be mixing embroidery styles of the Macaronis (1770s) with patterns of the New Romantics (1980s).

This dress was designed in the 1980's, when Westwood was in her phase she calls the 'Early Years', where remnants of punk fashion could still be found in her work, before she moved on to experiment with other styles. I personally find this dress extremely beautiful, almost warrior-like. Though it is not made clear which fabric it is made out of, the pattern is in the burberry style. Fabric unknown.
