In the era of the 80s, the classic returned to the minds of the couturier, but he played with bright colors. Obviously, the restraint of cutting classic costumes seemed to them too fresh. Showing fantasy, designers were able to create something new, suitable in time and mood - "Neoclassica" appeared. The most courageous styles and combinations of colors were welcomed. Designers of that era were inspired by new directions in culture, sports. It is especially worth noting musical directions, such as break dance and hip-hop.
