Movie images of the 80s: bows are not for boredom
"This is the last powerful style of the 20th century in which the dictates of fashion existed," said fashion historian Alexander Vasilyev. However, there were several directions in this dictate, and it was easy to track the main trends around world hits of that time: look and be surprised.
The early 80s - a boom of fitness and aerobics (thanks, Jane Fonda), and leggings, hair bands, knit pants, spacious sweaters, comfortable shoes are in vogue - the dance uniform adapts to everyday life. In 1983, the whole world is watching "Flash Dance" and is trying to repeat for the main character not only movements, but also the style of dressing.
In the 80s, women actively began to conquer career peaks - as a result, the film “The Business Girl” became a box-office hit in 1988, with Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver wearing bouffants and jackets with huge shoulders — they are all like men to men: power dressing he is.
The cult film of the late 80s was the film "Heathers", which opened a series of stories about intrigues, scandals and other bloodbaths in American colleges and high schools. Young Winona Ryder and Shannon Doherty in wonderful dresses of that time.
In the same year, but in a completely different - Gothic - style of the 80s (see The Cure group) Winona was shot by Tim Burton in the unforgettable Beatlejus.
On the other side of the ocean, in France, Luc Besson and Isabelle Adjani created a somewhat similar image in the rebellious and romantic “Underground”. Only in the 80s wore such hair, after all. However, in the same film, together with Christopher Lambert (then Christoph Lambert), Isabel looked quite bourgeois (in the 80-sense of the word - not without shoulder pads).
Speaking of the 80s can not fail to mention Madonna. Funny adventure comedy "Desperately looking for Susan" is not so much the plot, as many outfits, impossible and beautiful.
Well, since we are talking about icons of style: here is Sarah Jessica Parker of the 1985 sample in the comedy "Girls just want to have fun". The same Sex and the big city, but adjusted for the fashion of a crazy decade, is not it?
