Lots 212 to 223 the collection of Scarlett cannon, ‘80s club-kid’ and cha cha nightclub founder and host in 1981, aged eighteen. Scarlett cannon with her Modigliani-looks and bleached, cropped hair made a striking figure on the early 80s club scene. Her distinctive looks made her the perfect model and she was chosen by the new wave I.D magazine in 1982 for their front cover. A close friend of Leigh Bowery, performance artist and designer - upon first meeting him she barred him from her club until he agreed to remove his cape!
