Strawberry Switchblade - influences on Lolita, etc.

[PearlZenith]

So, I don't know if anyone else here knows about this 80's girl duo, but every time I look at their music videos, I think, 'wow, this looks proto-lolita' and yes, I realize that they also wear a lot of goth. Does anyone know of other 80's bands who's look is similar to a precursor to lolita? I love tracing styles and evolutions, and am curious if Strawberry Switchblade is just an anomaly, or part of a larger picture.

Here are my favorite videos. (I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...why they don't show up as videos so I changed them to links but if you go to those links, the videos are there. Ugh.)

Adorable interview on children's tv (in the year I was born!) And the singer keeps reminding me of Mana, well, honestly, she'd be influencing him, rather than influenced by him. But, their Glasgow accents are so cute!

Another interview, and the interviewer focuses on their clothing

Another interview - they started out in the punk scene, apparently, so the interviewer is curious about how they got to sewing and wearing frilly 'romantic' stuff

Its true, looking and listening to them you definitely can't miss the fact that they are very 80s, but its cute.
