This video reveals that the robotic movements of Kraftwerk and codified catwalk mannerisms aren’t that far apart.
Later bloomerism? Arrested development? In any case, Kraftwerk’s 1980 “Das Model” video came into my life almost 45 years after its release. Credit goes to Dylan Jones who wrote a 688-page tome on the New Romantic movement, Sweet Dreams, that I finally braved, and completed, after being intimidated by its size for two years. This oral history with informative asides was definitely worth the wait.
For their hit “Das Model” they make robotic movements to machine-made music while looking like ’30s shop-window mannequins and singing about a fashion model who is “looking good” and drinking champagne. Live clips are spliced with black-and-white clips of ’50s-era photographic shoots and runways.
