| hot pants by Agoraphobix |
oh the 80's!
the colors, the cuts the over sized items and total camp nicknaks that
are just too damn adorable to ignore. It was a special period by far
( to my opinion the fashion nation was swept away on some extremely
strong hallucinogenic drug).
I find the color schemes, iconic symbols and cuts fascinating and I try to incorporate them in almost every item I do (I also have 2 main lines that feature this love, Dance On Glass and Street Beat).
So I decided to dedicate this blog to the wonderful 80's, not actual items from the period, but inspired by, adapted and made to bring back the spirit of the time with an edge to suit this
time. shall we call them 80's inspired street style items?
So lets go!

younger I had a sneaker print sweatshirt which I just loved and this top is so reminisent of that:)
Moving on to a slightly different cut, this big stripe V stitch slouch top is just so cool and effortless, just put it on and walk out in pure style.

Still feeling the cold bite of winter? no worries Iv got some 80's
inspired duds to perk up your winter closet!
This long sleeve kanga pocket yellow and blue bus print sweatshirt is actually made out of a
vintage piece of fabric and its so cute Its got what I call a kindergarden schick!
Another super cute option is this pink and gray stripe hoodie with kisses printed all over it, pair it with jeans for day to day wear or a hot denim mini skirt and tights for a super hot streetwise look.

Thinking of a vixen look? try this neon green and skull print corset, it always reminds me of the
gloomy goth clubs of the 80's but with a death rock twist.
This neon splatter denim and leatherette waist clincher is definitely one of a kind, Im so in love with this denim fabric! you can match it up with these neon splatter denim pants made out of the same fabric:)

And how can you rock the 80's look without tights? these two legging will do the trick any day,

If its a skirt your looking for, I have just the ticket, this pink and stripe patch pirate skull print skirt reminds me of the goonies, its awesome and it has tons of atitude written all over it:)
