# Biker Gloves With Minidresses Channel Your Inner '80s Child' with the WWD Accessories Fall 2009 Is By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-09-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/80s-child-wwd-accessories-fall-2009 References: [fashionindie](http://fashionindie.com/spread-um-80s-child-wwd-accessories-fall-2009-issue/) & [cultindie](http://www.cultindie.com/photo/albums/spread-um-80s-child-wwd) There's a whole lot of [retro ferocity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefall-2026-collection) being dished up within '80s Child' in the [WWD](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brightening-and-depuffing-eye-cream) Accessories Fall 2009 issue. Alexis Bledel (of "Gilmore Girls" fame, if you're keeping track) models a series of rockin' 80s fashions for the spread, like red leather gloves paired with a sweetheart-neck minidress, a military-inspired leather cap with a [frilly skirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) and a leather jacket accentuated with a silvery bow hair barrette. As an authentic '80s Child,' I love this WWD Accessories Fall 2009 editorial. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro Fashion Revival:** Create a line of vintage-inspired accessories that combine elements from the '80s with modern fashion trends. - **Mixing Styles:** Design a collection that blends contrasting fashion styles, such as pairing leather gloves with feminine minidresses. - **Nostalgic Fashion Influences:** Tap into the nostalgia trend by incorporating iconic fashion elements from the '80s in your accessories. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Accessories:** Develop innovative fashion accessories that cater to the growing demand for retro-inspired fashion trends. - **Women's Apparel:** Create unique designs that combine unexpected elements from different fashion eras, attracting fashion-forward consumers. - **Editorial Fashion:** Explore the concept of merging past and present fashion styles in editorial spreads to inspire new creative collaborations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Retro Sporty Luxe Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-accessories.md) - [Cherry Red Winter Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-girl.md) - [Reprised Fall Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-reimagines-autumnal-fashion.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Nostalgic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/throwback-collection.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Nostalgic Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-90s-looks.md) - [Retro Cartoon Back-to-school Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unisex-styles.md)
