Ever wished you were a teenager in the eighties? A time of lycra, leg warmers, catsuits and big hair? Well never mind, because 80's fashion has made a comeback, what's old is new again. Turn the clock back a good 20 years or so and you're back on the cutting edge. Fashion trendsetters have rediscovered the looks of the 1980s. We are re-visiting the dolman sleeve, leggings, the mod mini dress, the bubble ruffle dress, Chanel, the oversized dress sweater, catsuits, jumpsuits, fluoro and wedge high heels. We all wish our mum's hung onto their old clothes, although no-one knew the trends were going to move in a circular motion. Every season some fashion trend collecting dust in our parents closets emerges once again as the height of fashion. When we think of our favourite movies such as Flashdance and Dirty Dancing we are taken back in time and although now in a more modern context we envisage leggings worn for both day and night occasions. The fashions from the past are re- emerging and through modern technologies a modern take has been introduced. Also through technology we are able to consult the media for the past looks and history of our culture.
