It felt like you jumped into a time machine at Topshop Unique’s 2009 fashion show. Big hair, big shoulders, and denim vests all brought back reminders of when cell phones seemed non existence and Tiffany was back on the top charts.
Models were decked out head to toe in full 80’s wear. Wearing large bandanas on their heads, there were jumpsuits, denim pieces, shoulder padded jackets, high waisted pants, and oversized sweaters on the runway.
Patterns of course were bright and obnoxious just like the 80’s era. Stone washed denim also made a come back during the show. Bandanas were wrapped around each models head, one fashion trend we didn’t ever think would be back. Leggings also brought back memories and belts were used to accessorize around waists.
Staying on note of Topshop Unique, they have just announced that they will be opening a “denim clinic” to help shoppers find that perfect pair of jeans, to make the search easier and less frustrating for everyone. One on one advice and fittings will be held at the Oxford store between 1 and 6pm daily.
Although I cannot see anyone typically walking down the street in a heart print jumpsuit anytime soon, many of the pieces could be pulled off and wearable. One thing the designer did decide to do for the first time? Stick to the age group that actually buys the clothing. Directing it on the younger audience, may just help them out for 2009. Bring on the 80’s!
