I really liked being able to compare the outfits to the ones we are wearing today in this 80's throwback period. This generation is rediscovering the things that the ones growing up in the 80's did - The music, Ibiza, raves, aswell as the clothing.
'Rave was about dressing to sweat'
The similarities between then and now were endless - sequin hot pants with converse, BOY t-shirts, pattern clashing!

As a textile designer I absolutely loved the prints by The Cloth, Betty Jackson and English Electrics.

<3 this quote by The Sunday Times: "Their colours looks so fresh that it's hard to believe the paint has dried"
This gorgeous red Helen David design is from her range under the name 'English Eccentrics'. Beautifully bright and hand printed.
I was amazed at how much fun they used to have going down the runway! A video showed the models running, dancing, hugging and smiling!
