A new year and time to look to the future / back to the 80s. Let's begin with a quote from a Bananarama classic - very apt as they are one of the key inspirations for this season. "Strange voices are saying, (What did they say), things I can't understand". Those strange voices belong to Marc Jacobs, Christophe Decarnin, the Topshop team and many others. For Summer 2009, they're telling us to wear jumpsuits (Marc by Marc Jacobs), big shoulders (Balmain), stone-washed denim (Topshop Unique) and peg-leg trousers (everybody). It was full on Bananarama-orama at the Topshop show where Katie Grand looked to her own teenage years for styling ideas - the result: models bouncing down the catwalk with bouffant hair and headscarves.
It could be a cruel summer indeed with horrific holiday snaps to document it if I attempt to carry off the trend from head to toe. As much as I love the Banana girls, I'm thinking I won't be able to carry off the complete Siobhan Fahey circa 1987 look but a couple of 80s elements will definitely be added to my summer wardrobe.
