Abstract:
1980 where fashion had no rule and people pushed the boundary of fashion from the previous decades.This time shows how designers push boundaries of the technique's boundaries and change the ideas of traditional fashion looks, with it a bright color, clashing patterns, and different materials.As time went on, the younger generation started to wear brighter colors and look up to fashion icons. People seeing celebrities wear these "antique" items of clothing, now the youth is starting to take inspiration from this decade as well. Although time has changed, the style, trends, and colors of the 1980s have come back every day and in high fashion. Celebrities have always been the icon of fashion staples. These trends were all Staples in 1980, and still to this day, people have these in their closest and are still getting inspired from the 1980s.
