For many, the 80’s were a great time. The creation of MTV revolutionized fashion, the music industry and even how we watched TV. In fashion people didn't accessorize - they "excessorized" and LOVED it. Gone were the polyester bell bottoms and flowing cotton tunics of the late 60's and 70's. The 80's was a time of excess, things were big and loud, even the colors. Neon colors became very popular - pink and turquoise and fluorescent yellow, acid green and electric blue. Baggy shirts or sweatshirts with one side coming of the shoulder combined with tight jeans or Lycra pants and high heals or ballet shoes were among the fashion features for women. For men, long hair and mustaches as well as copying the look of celebrities on TV like Miami Vice or Michael Jackson were all the rage!
It was a totally awesome decade and we hope to bring you back to those times with the music of your younger years. Dress in style and the best dressed outfit will win a prize.
