HOTT FASHION!
WOW-SERS!
In case you hadn’t already noticed the sudden proliferation of shoulder pads, 80s fashion is back in a big way?
New Wave!
The splatter prints, shocking neons, and aggressive shoulder pads of the 1980s have all found their way back onto today’s catwalks. Check out these designer collections and what makes them oh-so-80s.
Jason Wu!
This glorious Jason Wu dress is 80s-inspired in both color and shape. Who doesn’t love those shoulder ruffles?
Charlotte Ronson!
These shoulder pads are straight out of a 1986 career woman’s closet. The headband and jeweled belt are equally time-warped.
Christian Siriano!
The top half is Dynasty’s Alexis Carrington. The same cannot be said of the skirt, however fabulous.
Mara Hoffman!
The last time chunky bangles looked so good paired with shocking pink? Around 1989.
L.A.M.B. ..!
The 80s trend does not stop at the clothing. Models wore petulantly harsh neon eyeliner at the presentation for Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. line.
Gerlan Jeans!
Perhaps not so much 80s as, say, another dimension.
Diane Von Furstenberg!
Remember Harem Pants? Maybe you remember them better as Hammer Pants. Technically 1990s, but whatever. They’re back.
DKNY
Blazers were once the uniform of 1980s teenage movie villains. Now, they’re a wardrobe staple once again.
Jill Stuart
Slashed lace, draped metallics, and leggings. Yup. 80s.
Isaac Mizrahi!
Oversized, masculine, and so ’80s.
Alexandre Herchcovitch!
A crop top with puffed sleeves? I’m in heaven
Marc Jacobs!
Just sayin’.
