About this album

Fabrique is Fashion’s sleekest and most fully realised album, a sharp 1982 synthesis of post-punk attitude and polished synth-pop. Fronted by vocalist Richard Jobson after the group’s shift away from earlier art-rock heaviness, the record leans into taut rhythms, glossy keyboard lines and tense melodic hooks. Songs such as Move On, Love Shadow and Street Player (Mechanik) show the band refining a harder, danceable sound that fitted the early-1980s crossover between rock and electronic pop. The album helped position Fashion within the era’s stylish British new wave landscape, where momentum, image and precision mattered as much as the songs themselves.
