Retro Blogging

80's Fashion Pictures As Modern Day Style Inspiration

I love retro images. Photos of people who looked only so-so when they were taken have become glorious with time, and there is no finer example than this blog. From Madonna to other fantastic 70’s & 80’s starts, these images will always generate a reaction - in my case, horror that I am old enough to remember them.

These images are so old, it might not be long before these looks are the inspiration for fashion revivals! I quite fancy that snake swimming suit, anyone else?
