Pump Up Your Shoulders

Retro means rock and roll, leather, fishnets, and graffiti, evoking the ‘80s looks. Winter 2016 has an immense amount of the ‘80s glamour with contrasting prints and a lot of astral images. For instance, Giamba’s show had a white tiger print crop sweater with a vivid turtleneck and graffiti miniskirts without the presence of fishnets, socks and leopard printed shoes. Animal prints have been spotted on the runway since many years now, and strikes as Cavalli’s signature style. Also, zips on skirts add further style and a sense of trendiness to this ‘80s look. Otherwise, Lorenzo Serafini’s and Moschino’s leather skirts, focus on the tops and layered tulle skirts just make the runway more fun and exciting to see. We cannot ignore the famous ‘80s structured shoulders that flaunted their way through shows by Balmain, Emanuel Ungaro, and Saint Laurent. So pump up your shoulder pads this winter with different structures and embellishments.
