80s style icon and Buffalo boy Barry Kamen dies aged 52:

#BarryKamen, artist and poster boy for #Buffalo, a collective who defined the look of 80s youth culture, has passed away aged 52.

One of eight children, Barry was of mixed Burmese, Irish, Dutch and English heritage (something he described as “a total product of colonialism”) and grew up in Harlow, Essex. In his late teens, he met the Ray Petri (the father of Buffalo) while working at a clothes shop in Covent Garden – where he would come in regularly to borrow clothes for shoots. Barry and his brother Nick became the stylist’s model muses soon afterwards.

The Kamen brothers, along with photographers Jamie Morgan and #MarcLebon, and stylist Mitzi Lorenz, formed the nucleus of the Buffalo collective. Drawing from what they saw on the streets and in the nightclubs, they had a post-punk DIY approach to fashion and were radical in their adoption of sportswear and use of non-white models.

They often took to the streets to find models for their shoots, one of whom was a pre-fame @iamnaomicampbell. “She was just a kid,” Kamen remembered in a recent Dazed interview. “She was just this nutty girl aged about fourteen, but she was part of the crew.” Together this crew was responsible for crafting a style which not only defined the era but remains one of the most influential and highly referenced aesthetics in the history of menswear. Barry and Nick played a fundamental role in this; embodying the very essence of Buffalo.

Barry’s presence will be missed and his tremendous contributions to the worlds of fashion and art will not be forgotten. – words @ted_stansfield #dazedinstastory ? Barry and #NickKamen in The Face, January 1984. Photography @jamie_morgan_photographer, styling #RayPetri
