Welcome back the 80’s
Shoulder pads, big hair, big prints and bold colours. Doesn’t that sound exciting? The NZ Herald is reporting that this year’s Fashion Week designers are bringing back the 80’s – or to some of us, it is more a first time around rather than a revival. Our parents may cringe at the thought of wearing shoulder pads again, but to us young things it is a new trend, which we will embrace with enthusiasm!
I think though, that like many other decade revivals, we will wear them with a noughties twist – cleaner, crisper, bold without being brash. Cybele and Sera Lilly are both embracing the 80’s revival by creating looks incorporating nudes and bright, bold colours, as well as a little bit of what looks like gothic-glam. When I imagine a Sera Lilly nude-and-bright-print-slash-goth-glam combo I think less Days of our Lives, more Gossip Girl-gone-a-bit-wild.
I think I am going to whole-heartedly embrace this 80’s revival – what about you?
