Recycled fashion
Looking at catwalk shows for Spring/Summer 2009 you might feel like you are being transported back in time, 20 years ago to be precise back to the 1980s. But do not fear if all the lyrca, lace. Neon and acid-wash denim gives you a headache, I will be showing you how to stay on trend this season without looking like an 80s throwback.
However its not just 80s trends that have made a comeback in recent years: 70s floral prints and fringing was popular last summer making a wet and muddy Glastonbury reminiscent of Woodstock. Fashions from other eras that have been revived recently include the shift dresses in the 60s, the tailoring of the 50s, and the dropped waists of the 20s- but why are these trends back for a second time?
It could that as vintage fashion is more popular than it ever has been and high street stores such as Topshop and Zara are more accessible than trawling through dozens of charity shops for that one bargain find and the high street is sometimes a more affordable way of recreating looks from the past.
