About Eighties Style
The 1980s dressed louder than any decade before it. Shoulders were squared to architectural proportions, hair was teased skyward with industrial quantities of lacquer, and colour came in shades that practically hummed under the strip lights of the high street. From the crinkle of a shellsuit to the warm woolly tug of legwarmers pulled over leggings, getting dressed was a full sensory event, bold, a little chaotic, and entirely unforgettable.
