I think ladies fashion is one of the most eclectic movements in the creativity world. It changes every season, bringing the most up to date colour schemes, ideologies and concept designs. Fashion design is a whirlwind of ideas which always repeats itself. One movement of fashion which I have seen returned is the 80s look. For some, the 80’s were a great time. The creation of MTV revolutionized fashion and the music industry, from M.C. Hammer, Madonna and Salt & Pepper. The clothes worn in the 80s depicted people who were trying to find themselves. They looked for ways to express their creativity and individuality. Men wore heavy makeup and grew long hair. Women wore short hair and layers of clothing. Both sexes were looking for an identity. They didn't accessorize - they "excessorized".
Most of the fashions worn in the 80s have found them self’s back on the store shelves and back being flaunted by individuals who dare to stand out. From the hair - Glittered, multi-coloured, Mohawks and curly and to the outfits- Hooped earrings, legwarmers, leggings and oversized jackets.
Whilst in Briton a new wave of fashion movement was occurring called "New Romantic". Most of the fashion of this new period were taken and modified right from punk fashion. The streaky eyeliner, the spiked hair, etc. This was worn and displayed by most early 80s synth New Romantic music groups. The early designer of the romantic look was Vivienne Westwood who designed clothing specifically for bands, such as Adam and the Ants and Boy George.
