Fashion: The Twentieth Century. (The 80's)

Summary
It was not until 1985 that everyone began to talk about the 80's look. In the 80's party clothes and retro were extremely popular. Women wore mutiple colors and dresses that emphasized the shape of their bodies. Top models, rich women, and many pretty girls loved the style of Azzedine Alaia. His style mainly consisted of clothing with a combination of leather, lace, silk jersey, and tweed. As time went on the style for women became more and more sexier and less conservative. The 80's is also when the famous Adidas sneakers came into play. Overall the 80's was a style that expressed people having parties and enjoy themselves.

Why I like this Style
What I love about the 80s look is the fun multiple colored look and the sex appeal of the women. I think that it is very nice to be able to show enjoyment through clothing. The only thing that I do not like is that as time goes on the women become more and more showy. For example, in the 50's women covered up most of their bodies but they still had a elegant sexiness to them. In the 60's and 70's the switch begins to happen and the women begin to wear more revealing clothing. In the 80s women begin to show much more skin than in the 60's and 70's and it continues as time goes on.
