Australian photographer David Hauserman paid tribute to Flashdance with this exclusive C-Heads editorial, styled by Retrosweat and produced by Sticks and Stones Agency.
For those who are unfamiliar, Flashdance is an early 80s film starring Jennifer Beals as a welder by day, dancer by night. Though the film was panned by critics, it received an overwhelmingly positive response at the box office, grossing over $100 million dollars worldwide. Flashdance is everything you'd expect from an 80s flick, full of campy, kitchy moments, dance montages and our protagonist Beals getting drenched in water.
This editorial recalls the feel-good retro fun of the film by recreating an aerobics class, complete with scrunchies, leg warmers and body suits that showcase the booty.
