Living in the 80's

The 80’s revival is in full flow with shoulder pads seen across the catwalks at Balmain (as below), Louis Vuitton and Margiela. The Krystle Carrington look has returned in a big way.

Designers have decided that power dressing is back and it is now fashion’s hot topic of the moment gaining huge momentum in magazines, blogs and celebrity wardrobes such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Lady Gaga.

In my opinion, shoulder pads should remain a distant memory like many 80s trends. It is not flattering to have broadened shoulders unless you have the smallest of waists to balance out. They also scream fashion victim as you can guarantee that the trend’s longevity is only a matter of months.

This spring I shall opt for a boyfriend blazer instead.
