Gen X can thank Wham!’s music manager Simon Napier-Bell for the neon, bold statement t-shirts and a Fila obsession.
Clad in some of the shortest shorts of the 80s, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley burst onto the scene with Wham!’s upbeat poppy tunes and a new brand of fashion. Napier-Bell said that Michael was the heart and soul of Wham!’s music side, whereas Ridgeley was the one with an eye for fashion.
But when it came to some of the most important fashions that shaped the era, Napier-Bell was behind driving that all the way to MTV.
Wham!’s fashion stemmed from money problems
“There was an early stage when Wham! got their first hit and then we were planning a first tour and they didn’t have any money because they’d signed a terribly bad record deal,” Napier-Bell recounted to Showbiz Cheat Sheet.

Pop star George Michael’s Christmas Day death in 2016 came as a shock, but the day the 53-year-old singer died was especially poignant, especially to those who knew how much Michael loved Christmas.
Michael’s former music manager, Simon Napier-Bell was enjoying a peaceful, candlelit dinner with his partner of 30 years when his phone rang on that fateful day.
“I was sitting by the River Sarawak in Borneo having Christmas dinner with my partner, my boyfriend of 30 years,” he recalled to Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “And there it came on my phone all of a sudden. ‘Can I talk to you?’ Journalists, journalists, journalists saying, ‘We got to talk to you. George Michael is dead.”
Napier-Bell added with a laugh, “It definitely, definitely spoiled my Christmas. So thank you, George. But I would have said that to him if he had been there. It was a shock and was really an awful thing to happen.
