Episode 42: In this episode of In the Vitrine (ITV!), we talk about Music Television (MTV) and how it has given us important ideas about identity and dress. Did "video kill the radio star", as the first MTV music video by The Buggles purported in its title in 1981? How have visual realisations of songs encouraged experimentation with one's identity, and in what important ways have the music and fashion industries influenced each other, such as through the Video Music Awards (VMAs)? We discuss all this and more through our favourite music videos offered by a varied group of artistes from Cyndi Lauper, Boy George and Annie Lennox to TLC, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears.
