The band originally consisted of singer/guitarist Luke James, bassist/keyboardist John Mulligan (simply known as Mulligan) and drummer Dik Davis. In 1979 the band signed to IRS Records and released their first album, Product Perfect. The album failed to chart and mainly received airplay on college radio.
By late 1981, the band had almost completely changed in terms of musical direction, and had now become a part of the New Romantic movement. Original singer Luke James had been replaced by De Harris, and bassist Marlon Recchi joined the band. In April 1982, the band released their most successful album, Fabrique. The album, produced by Zeus B. Held, reached #10 on the UK charts and featured the hit singles Love Shadow and Move On. Two other minor singles, Streetplayer (Mechanik) and Something in Your Picture were also released from the album.
In late 1982, De Harris left the band and was subsequently replaced by singer/guitarist Troy Tate (formerly of The Teardrop Explodes). However, Tate did not last long in the band and was replaced on vocals by guitarist Alan Darby in early 1983. With Darby now as frontman, the band went back into the studio with Zeus B. Held and released their final album, Twilight of Idols, in February 1984. The album spawned three singles, Eye Talk, Dreaming and You in the Night, with only Eye Talk becoming a hit. By the end of 1984, the band had broken up.

One of the greatest albums of all time from one of the greatest bands of all time. City of Birmingham should have erected a statue to De Harris and the lads.
@chrischristopher9096
This is one of my favourite tracks of all time - one of my favourite albums of all time - one of my favourite bands of all time. Completely blew us all away when we first heard it. One of the greatest bands to come out of my home town Birmingham and hugely proud of that. De Harris - a visionary. Early 80s Birmingham at the Holy City Zoo - incredible era. Fabrique is one of a handful of unique albums in a category where Sergeant Pepper is viewed as the greatest album of all time. I wouldn't say it was the greatest but most unique : Fabrique is equally unique. Well done Fashion, well done Birmingham.

Listened first time in a local Italian radio station in 1982 (grateful to the djs that played new wave in Italian radios, was not a usual thing here!). Were immediately impressed by the way to use synths. Great track and great album 👍
@nigelgoodwin4186
Totally under rated band well ahead of there time listen to the heat by jungle think these guys must of found a copy of fabrique thanks for the memories I too would take my album to parties in the 80s got every one dancing and wanting a copy can't understand why they weren't bigger
@dikthrust
Takes me right back. My brother had the LP and I was always 'borrowing' it to take to parties. This is the best track on it !!
@barbarablairsanchez8735

Diffrent World.
@sheenanyc
Brilliant Song. Flawless Production. Any uploads on youtube does not give the original album justice.

I was only 3 years old when Fabrique was released, I just heard the 1st track " Move On" yesterday, and Oh I am going crazy, I need to have this entire album on my iPhone ASAP ! I love Something in your Picture, the sound is SO NOSTALGIC Early 80s Grandeur Funk Electro ! Boo on me for not buying this Album years ago !
