Pixie Geldof's Vogue UK editorial for its September issue proves that while the 80s revival is in full swing, not everyone goes for the bright, neon aspect of retro fashion.
In the Vogue UK shoot, Pixie Geldof is shot by Alasdair McLellan in punk rock princess attire. From thigh-high zip-up boots worn with tiny shorts to a tutu paired with a leather top, it's clear Pixie Geldof has this look down pat.
Implications - Making a statement with clothing is the most important feature of the fashion industry, and often times sexuality plays a large role in those statements. Presenting patterns that are more risque lessens the intimidation factor associated with certain styles. This breaking of rules can be applied to any business and widens a company's target demographic.
