Feeling Minimal?

1. Erin Wasson just had garage sale of her clothes because she wanted to be free of all her stuff, and adopt a more “utilitarian” style.

2. Kenzo’s auctioning off a bunch of his art a la YSL and Versace because he wants to live “more free, lighter”.

3. The over-the-top feel of the 80’s runways have made everyone groan “ew” and mourn the days when sequins, shoulder pads and mini-skirts weren’t all on the same runway.

4. This was all preceded by the death of the It bag, over and over.

So does this mean everybody’s over the 80’s before the re-runs have even hit the racks, and are going back to the times of simple lines and uncomplicated pieces (also known as a big part of the 90’s) already?

Are you feeling like you’re over too much fuss in your fashion (and life)? Or are some people just selling their stuff for the cash, and not necessarily for the free closet space?

Fashion Is Fun

Don’t Tell Us You Didn’t Like It

In light of everyone’s general distaste over the Fall 09 runways leading straight back into the 80’s/90’s, we bring you a glimpse of happier times.

Picture it: 1991, that girl from Married with Children had her own poster, and you totally swooned over all the high-tension scenes - Yes, it’s Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead.

Since it was on air yesterday, we took the time to record and YouTube one of the best scenes - Sue Ellen finds out her uniform-making company’s going down the dumps, but she uses her teenage fashion prowess to whip together never-before-thought-of outfits in the basement factory, and wham, styles up a fashion show that saves the company.

Here she is in her aha! moment. You know you love those shoulder pads.

Quote of the Day

“I’ll tell you, if there’s one thing I do miss about the ’80s, it’s all the great-looking people who were around. I don’t just mean great-looking like, attractive, I mean great-looking like they had a look. Stephen Sprouse, Teri Toye, Dianne Brill, Billy Idol… For them, every night was another night to dress up and be fabulous.” - Patrick McMullan, to Style.com.
