The Clash, Ramones, The Cure, U2, Nirvana and The Stranglers started to become more popular and the band photography and dress sense started to spread fashion types. And this is when Punk fashion began to grow.
Richard Sandler documented this fashion craze in the streets using candid photography as he captures cultured settings with cultured people involved giving a bold fashion statement with his images. I think that his images are very contrasting and show the Urban culture of the 80's.

The image above shows two contrasting couples both in the rough environment showing signs of complete comfort and i like how this shows the culture of urban life during the 80's as we see how all 4 characters are rather different but are united together by certain traits be it wearing a dark coloured jacket or dark shades. The era was about looking as cool, bold and strong as possible to be with the fashion sense.
