A few fun facts...
The aspirational 80s
"Greed is good"
The 80s represented the height of excess and celebrated the ostentatious. The jewel colored powersuit, with its gilt buttons, wide shoulders, nipped in waist and above the knee pencil skirt, was a sign of authority, status and sexual power. Dresses were embellished with sequins beads and studs.
Visible branding was favored over discreet labeling on clothing. Designers happily and brazenly printed their logos over clothing and accessories.
With everyone aspiring to the perfect body, the fitness craze went into overdrive. Consequently, this had an impact on fashion; spandex and lycra outfits created for aerobic workouts began to be sold and worn as everyday clothing.
