The Eighties Antidote

The 80's shoulder is back with vengeance and I had to be a part of it! Those of you who were fashionista's during the 80's probably couldn't dream of wearing shoulder pads and acid wash jeans again. Fortunately, for me I was still in diapers so the current trend seems all so new.

Many designer's use the 1940's as a source of inspiration. Giving the illusion of a smaller waist the shoulders are strong and structured. The era was full of glamour and inspiring tailored garments.
I found this 1980's Christian Dior blazer buried in an antique store! It was love at first sight... the blazer features hand sewn french lace, bound button holes, military rope trim to accent the edges and beautiful covered buttons.
