Return of the Cone Boobs

Girls Aloud Get Galactic Glam

— May 9, 2008 — Pop Culture
Remember when Madonna brought back retro cone boobs, making the pointy bra style hot again? Well now thanks to Girls Aloud, it's back, and this time with a galactic blast!

The UK girlband showed off this look when they kicked off their Tangled Up tour in Belfast this week.

"All credit goes to Julien Macdonald, who designed two sets of futuristic outfits for the girls, which resemble Jean-Paul Gaultier's infamous 'cone' bodice for Madonna's 1990 Blonde Ambition tour," Catwalks Queen says. "Ironically, Gaultier has recently designed Kylie Minogue's current tour costumes, which she showed off in Paris earlier this week."

A year ago, that would have sounded absurd, but after the strong recent emphasis on superheroes and sci-fi-chic fashion, it's really not that surprising.
Trend Themes
1. Retro Cone Boobs - The resurgence of the cone bra style, popularized by Madonna, presents an opportunity for fashion designers to create futuristic and edgy lingerie collections.
2. Galactic Glam - The trend of incorporating space-age elements into fashion, as seen in Girls Aloud's Tangled Up tour costumes, offers an opportunity for brands to create futuristic and celestial-themed clothing lines.
3. Sci-fi Chic - The growing popularity of sci-fi-inspired fashion opens up opportunities for designers to create avant-garde and futuristic clothing that merges technology and style.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Design - Fashion designers can leverage the trend of retro cone bras and galactic glam to create innovative lingerie and clothing collections that push the boundaries of traditional fashion.
2. Entertainment - The sci-fi chic trend presents opportunities for entertainment industry professionals to incorporate futuristic elements into performances, stage designs, and costumes, offering audiences unique and immersive experiences.
3. Retail - Retailers can tap into the retro cone boobs and galactic glam trends by stocking avant-garde and futuristic fashion pieces, attracting fashion-forward consumers looking for bold and cutting-edge designs.
