’80s Fashion: Top 10 Most Influential Movies and TV

Posted by bellastraniera - 13/05/09 at 05:05 pm

Fashion – what you have and how you wear it – is a major motif inPretty in Pink (1986). It defines the haves and the have-nots at Molly Ringwald’s school, where she falls into the latter category. The obnoxious preppiness of James Spader’s white blazer (a precedent to Less Than Zero costume choices) draw a stark contrast to her home-sewn prom dress. But Ringwald’s style points to an emerging trend of the time: thrift-store chic. You could take almost any quirky old thing and make it look rockabilly cool with the right attitude and tweaks. Antique Boutique on Broadway in New York was the major thrift store destination of the day.
