Pink 80s Glamour

This week it’s my birthday and as an 80s child, just the right occasion to bring back a little bit of the glamour of the decade I was born in. The 80s threw out the rule book when it came to fashion, this is the spirit I grew up with and the spirit I still carry in my heart.

Born in a decade of excess, today I bring back the shoulder obsession of the 80s and go big and bold. I want glitter galore, boldly coloured makeup and that expressed image of wealth that was very specific for the 80s.

Let’s dive into nostalgia, listen to Cyndi Lauper and Prince, feel (almost) as glamorous as Cher and as loved as Princess Diana. The 80s get mocked for their fashion very often, I think that’s rather unfair. Yes, there were some horrible things as in every decade, but our taste also changes over time, everything was Zeitgeist. Today’s new interpretation of the 80s translates the fashion from back then into something recent and modern.

Sometimes I wish I would have grown up in a bubbling city because I think the feeling of the 80s would have been much more intensive than in the little village where was born. I only got to know some of the great musicians of the decade in the early 90s and the next cinema was far away. But I remember how much I envied Madonna for her boldness and how I loved her outfits. We exchanged mix tapes at school and I wish I still had my blue cool walkman.

So let’s have a Bananarama moment today, happy birthday to me, an 80s child!
