The Schon Magazine 'Soap Opera' editorial was directed by photography experts Kristofj and Sean. The artistic duo has been known to pull off some intricate productions, and they have done so yet again here. Just as the title suggests, this photoshoot revolves around the "classic" looks sported by the casts of 1980s soap operas.
Television shows such as 'The Young and the Restless' and 'Days of our Lives' were popular hits during the funky decade. Millions of viewers tuned in each season, and many became enamored with the epic displays of shoulder pads, teased hair and chunky earrings. Stylist Grace Joel has brought these exact looks back to the fore with bulbous jewelry pieces and pinstripe suits. The display of Yves Saint Laurent, Beyond Retro and Issey Miyake apparel demonstrates just how popular this dress code truly is.
