TREND: BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY





















One of our favorite trends for Spring/Summer 2009 is a retro-inspired look for sure. The eighties are back in full effect, bigger and brighter and better than ever. Except that we're not talking about your architectural eighties power suit with football shoulders of the Wall Street era; nor are we referencing a bubble-gum pop princess Tiffany-meets-Debbie-meets-Susanna look of Teen Steam.




As of late, designers have been turning to the Bowery, to Miami Vice, to Liquid Sky for inspiration. It's midnight at the Mudd Club as far their concerned and they're looking for Tad Allagash to spice up the party. This spring take it back to the LES, Desperately-Seeking-Susan style. Girl, you have got to get into the groove . . .
