Personally I love most things about the 80's, although i was neither present or even a glint in my fathers eye for the duration of it.
The Films!!! Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Gregory's Girl, Mystic Pizza, Pretty Woman, Bill and Ted...
The Muisc!! Kim Wilde, Prince, David Bowie, Oingo Boingo, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Blondie...
(sure most of these didn't start in the 80's but that's not the point lol)
BUT! The bloody fashion was horrendous!
Shell suits, ra-ra skirts, puff ball skirts, Margret Thatcher and her paded shoulder suits, scrunch socks, hideous patterned everythings, leotards...to name a few!
That's only some of it, and its just feckin ghastly!!!!!
lol.
This only goes to prove that the fashion world is totally screwed up...becasue the only 'new trends' that come out of designers so called hard graft these days are re-work retro outfits becasue they havn't the imagination to create anything new and exciting.
Don't get me wrong i'm all for the 50's/ 60's kind of thing. But how can you possibly get away with and achieve succes out of something that was utterly awful in the first place.
I'd like to ask all you fashionistas out there, If your someone who lives for the brink of cutting edge fashion, daring to stand out and be different, (while trying to look gorgeous at the same time lol)...Why on earth are you all allowing the industry to do this to us??
I'm positive it's some secret joke amongst designers to make us all look stupid, becasue people are idotic enough to do it in the name of 'style'! Whatever that is these days.
We need to rid the world of these material disasters and as soon as possible!!
ARGH!!
Rant over ^_^
I completely agree about the mindless designers - no original or unique thoughts? The 80's were bad enough the first time around. Kudos!
