Fashion history knew a lot of amazing, if not to say strange, epoch. But none of them compares with what was going on in the eighties of the XX century. All bans were removed, the borders of the erased, and they were the world - young people in bright leggings, with chemistry on long hair, girls in jackets with huge shoulders, with wild make-up, hung with plastic jewelry. Sex, aerobics and "dynasty" - tell about who and how influenced the industry of the eighties.
What lived the world in the penultimate decade of the twentieth century? It was the time of global change and accomplishments in science and art, the heyday period of the media, the establishment of television power over the minds of millions of viewers. The era of mobile communications began, personal computers appeared, finally, the first yield of a person in the World Wide Web. Echoes of the sexual revolution, accomplished at the beginning of the seventies, and humanity reaps her fruit - in fashion aggressive sensuality, the perfect figure, sport, some permissiveness in matters of fashion and style. And, of course, at the peak of popularity luxury: the richer and more gorgeous you look, the more accurate to come into the stylish dozen. But first things first.
Such daring
Obviously, from ordinary seasonal trends in real subcultures, fashion trends of the eighties deployed television. Now the information was transferred very and very quickly. The stars who were lit in the chaise of show business and the model world, instantly acquired worldwide fame - and, of course, became icons of style and modes of mod. Film actors and musicians have formed trends, but only during the information lift, they began to globally affect the minds of people. The appearance of thematic channels - such as the legendary MTV - only contributed to this. Hitting to the "box" was equated to coronation, and how the clones of those whom we watched on TV appeared on the streets on the streets.
One of the brightest singers of the generation Y (however, and the present time) became Madonna. Women of the eighties from the hearts thanked the bold Louise Chickon for the opportunity to imitate her idol: wearing a pearl shadow on all the eyelids, experimenting with blush (raspberry? Red? Why not!), With lip lipstick and pencil. And, of course, with hairstyle! The famous Madonna Laying - Kudri, casually intercepted on the back of a scarlet scarf, - for a long time she became her business card.
However, not only and not so much she made a "small demon" standard hairstyle - here it is worth saying thanks to the king of the pop scene by Michael Jackson, who changed outfits as gloves, but never changed the so-called Jheri Curls, that is, the "demon . By the way, the chemical twist in the eighties began to do all the fashionists - both women and men. To dare to this, it was not necessary to go on stage or becoming a Hollywood actor: simple young men from the province conquered large cities, starting this way with a campaign to fashionable hairdressers for elastic curls. For obvious reasons, Jheri Curls was especially popular with African Americans. In addition to Jackson, Smael L. Jackson and Lyonel Richie, Eric La Sal and many rap performers of that time.
Alternative to frivolous curls have become frightened sizes. Even if you have literally three pen on your head, experienced stylists' hands could put them on end, creating the illusion of a superobice. And if the curls were a stylistic element of rapcultuette, then the rally took their own rods. The stern men from the KISS group became the most violent fans of this laying. In general, they were able to combine in their images almost all the trends of this era - the hair that lied litters of varnish, and the wider shoulders, bright makeup, often theatrical, and, of course, leggings. Tight pants, emphasizing all body bends, appeared at KISS at the beginning of the eighties. Who borrowed this element of the wardrobe brutal musicians?
Physics and chemistry
One of the most powerful subcultures of that time was the fans of sports - the so-called sports. Demonstrating the ideal forms, young people and girls in fitting synthetic costumes cut in such a form not only by gym, but also along the streets of large cities. It was they finally "released" leggings and bikes, volumetric sweatshirts and offsayzvivka acid colors, sneakers and sneakers from the stigma "for training only." Now they can and needed to appear on fashionable parties - attention and recognition is guaranteed.
The cult of a healthy and beautiful body was formed long and stubbornly. Initially, emphasizes everything (literally everything!) Its bends were considered vicious, forbidden: a woman was allowed to focus on the waist and neckline, the men were completely deprived of such an opportunity. But after the Hippie generation, which removed a huge amount of taboo relating to the human body and sexual preferences, the demonstration of the figure stopped being unauthorized. And, of course, suitable clothing required for this demonstration. Popularization of body and leggings in every way contributed to the actress and athlete Jane Fund, the first released separate video tape with its own authorship aerobic exercises. She became a real fashionable icon of the eighties: a bright bandage, intercepting the combed hair, a closed swimsuit, rushed on the legs, leggings - "Uniforms" of the funds very soon moved to the masses. Naturally, it was difficult to walk in a swimsuit among broad day in a swimsuit (although individual mods did it), and therefore young people interpreted the style of the actress, complementing the trousers and duby jackets in their own way. Together with their mini skirt, which was also very and very popular, was also very popular - such an image was both sports and sexual, and what else is needed to become the center of universal attention?
Of course, the correct laying. Sports of both sexes wore elastic bandages around his forehead, which were not only an element of their style, but also a very functional thing: that the ladies that the Cavalers were released long hair, and those and others, as we have already written above, did "chemistry" - and The dressings perfectly kept curls, not letting them get into the eyes. The main female hairstyle was the high horse tail.
Usually, those who are seriously engaged in sports do not use make-up, but not those who went to the hall in the eighties. Even if you had a powerful race or an hour of intense dance training, you had to not forget about the "combat color": a dense tone, pink blush, pearl shadows, thick eyelashes ... in a word, never know where you will meet your destiny, and therefore fashionable That epoch did not remain with the "naked" face. But each rule has its exceptions, and they became the queen of hearts.
Crown number
Among the riots of paints, neon, brilliance and deliberate sex, those who did not want to join this holiday life and sensuality were very distinguished. Women did not want to abandon elegance and restraint, men - from high-quality costumes and respectable accessories. Fashion critics dubbed these White Ravens with romantics. Of course, they had their own role model, which became Princess Diana. Its extraordinary popularity among the "simple people" made it a fashionable icon (even despite the statements of Lady Di that it is absolutely not interested in this sphere). And now the ladies are trying to copy the silhouette of the monarch of the person, it is not good styling and makeup without makeup. By the way, it was Diana that became the ancestor of this decorative direction: a drop of tone, slightly touched by blushes of cheekbones, a couple of carcass tremblies - and in this form you can go at least to work, even at the reception. Minimalism was very highlighted in the kingdom of pearl, acid and color palette "Eye".
But even romance could not avoid the influence of the era, which tried to do everything "too" and "too much." Elegant silk blouses acquired huge bows, neutral colors and prints gave way to leopard, tiger, zebra and even giraffe colors, neat shoulders turned into a "inverted triangle" silhouette with huge banenals. Of course, Lady Di ignored these trends, but the star of the main series of the eighties, the soap opera "Dynasty", the actress Joan Collins mixed up the classics and new-fashioned currents. She adored the clothes from Kutur, preferring the collection of experimenters - Gianni Versace, Kelvin Klein and Jean-Field Gauthier. Another popular actress of the eighties, young Brook Shields competed with Joan.
Bunlet, contradictory, rich in the oddities of the era splashed all the aspirations and skills of designers. It seems restrained by the rules, prohibitions and prejudices of society, they finally showed what is truly capable of. In an amazing way, the influence of the eighties has spread to all subsequent generations: animalistic prints are still used by leading designers of the world, only the trend on bulk shoulders and a bat "bat". Nural and chemistry, however, have not yet returned, but, knowing the main fashionable law (that new is well forgotten old), you can expect them on the podiums through the sectoral. Risk?
