Gold, guns and girls dominate Silvia Bratanova's 80s Eastern Europe Revised. The 80s in the Europe were a time of change and revolution, as countries under the control of the Iron Curtain started to shake off the shackles of communism and embrace capitalism. Any successful editorial in my book is going to be propelled by two things, guns and money, both of which are in healthy supply here.
80s Eastern Europe revised is like taking a trip back in time, as the fashion featured here is inspired by styles from the 20s, 40s and 60s. Being a guy makes me incompetent by default when it comes to fashion, but I will say that I love the accessories used here. My favorite pieces have to be the hand-grenade necklace and golden shotgun-shell belt.
