Fashion Week’s a Wrap: 80s Make A Comeback
The hustle bustle of Fashion Week NYC 2009 is over and one of the most apparent trends on the runway was the return of the big hair, bold makeup, and vintage, 80’s inspired clothes.
Marc Jacob’s designs seemed to be a melting pot of the exotic style and classic retro trends. These models looked like sketches of ink as the colors remained neutral and each design maintained a sense of precision and lining.
The peach and blue combination is very unique and reminds me of videography of olden times. There’s an added charm to this look with special attention to the pearls attached to the oversized hair accessory. Of course, the frilly shoulder pads are straight from the 80’s and the dress has a leafy print that you probably haven’t seen in the last two decades.
Avril Lavigne presented her new line of clothing at NYC’s Fashion Week and her designs have an 80’s inspired theme as well. Here, this checkered long button down shirt and retro long leggings are not exactly new to the fashion scene, but is still upholding the 80’s fashion trend. The bold smokey-eyes and big pomped hair shows us that it’s 20 years later and these trends aren’t going anywhere for Spring 2010.
