Cyclical Fashion - 80s

I feel that the 80s is the most interesting to talk about.

Madonna happened. The punk rock movement happened. Mohawks happened. Lace happened. Shoulder pads happened. Dynasty happened. Stirrup pants happened. Miami Vice happened.

Everything Marc Jacobs did for S/S was a tribute to the 80s. For Vuitton, he went rock and roll with power dressing and lots of neon. For Marc Jacobs, it was more preppy school chic, without any direct references to polo shirts or argyle. For Marc by Marc Jacobs, it was Flashdance and Fame all over again, with leggings, armwarmers and sweatshirts. The men were sporting Members-only esque jackets too.

For more sartorial inspiration, watch Napoleon Dynamite!

The 80s were also my favourite decade for movies. What are some of your favourite 80s movies? Mine are Flashdance, Tootsie, Mannequin and An Officer and a Gentleman. (and if you count in 1990 - Pretty Woman) Tell me yours, please!
