The 1980 was the
contrast decade.
In fashion was the harsh period of punk which included spiky
hair and Mohicans. This spread to even feature high class punk in catwalks,
which meant it was absorbed by the general fashion reporter.
1891 Princess Diana married
to Prince Charles.
The greatest sign of
the 1980 was the YUPPIE which means young urban professional.
They wore ties and
suits, without be scared that people recognized theme like their father. They
saw this as freeing of the casual terror of the 1970s.
The male yuppie outfit was
determinate to imitate the power look:
·
Double-breast suits by
Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren or Hugo Boss, with heavy padding at the shoulder s
like in the television series “Miami Vice , were de rigueur.
·
Soft, flowing fabrics, narrow leather ties, colourful shoes
·
Miami Vice took the whole thing from the ‘80s: cocktail and
cocaine, designer suits, sun and sand, Ray-Bans, palm trees and pop music ….
The female yuppie wore: a short tight
skirt, highly tailored power suits with equally extreme shoulder padding and an
elegant blouse.
Now women started to
put pant for working in business.
The dresses came
overexcited :
·
Puff sleeves
·
Shiny fabrics in brash colours
·
Balloon skirts.
·
The most desirable evening gown designer was Christian Lacroix
The fitness craze
grows up:
·
Body-building and aerobics were required for both men and women,( women’s
tried to succeed on having a masculine shape.
The ‘80s started to
be a decade of black electro-beat dance music:
·
Hip-hop
·
Rap
·
Black bands: flash, run DMC, Public Enemy an Grandmaster.
In NY and La, discos
were a street fashion and the hip hop a street sound. Break dancing was the new
style of dancing, but it required comfortable clothes: trainers, sportswears;
the hip hoppers had to have Nike, Rebook and Adidas.
The outfit of ghetto
boys was wearing baggy pants, trainers, and baseball caps, heavy necklaces and
symbolic pendants.
1984 this style had
a chance to entry in the European fashion when Vivienne Westwood designed her first
trainer.
