Chloé, S/S '09 ready to wear
Martin Grant, S/S'09 ready to wear
When we think of the 1980s, there's Madonna, bad neon, worse hair, aggressive sexuality and the power suit. Considering the 80s is when we had the junk bond fallout, it seems recessionary times are either indicated by full-on debauchery (think 1920s flapper girl) or a look that says I'm your boss and you can eat my 5 inch stilettos too because I've got a body and I'm gonna show it. It seems we're on the cusp of the latter, although with a more relaxed silhouette. Last year, designers like Martin Margiela and Nicholas Ghesquière ressurected the exaggerated shoulder pads, and even the Spring runways are chockfull with menswear, blazers and necklines demure enough for Mrs. Sarkozy. In a newly unemployed world, it seems everybody wants to be taken seriously.
