Jean Paul Gaultier Goes 80s

Karlie Kloss as Boy George


Jean Paul Gaultier's s/s 2013 collection was as they described it
"An homage to all the pop stars of the 80s."
Shena Moulton
With the Grace Jackson look out first it started with traditionally Gaultier colours and tailoring and then got crazier with each pop star that followed.
Raquel as MJ
No one would tell you to 'beat it' in this look. The cut of the jacket rocks. The Annie Lennox looks included pinstripes and loud prints.
Hannelore Knuts as Annie Lennox
Madonna's look was more relevant to today's fashion.

 Style.com reviewed that the Boy George and Bowie looks took the collection away from fashion now and into fancy dress territory.
Franzi Mueller as David Bowie
Personally we loved the Boy George looks and it got extensive coverage in the press. The maxi dress is cool.
Maria Kashleva as Boy George
Nothing fancy dress about Joan Smalls working the Sade look.

Sweet shoes.


Finally
Jean with Amanda Lear
We have loved both this collection and Jean's a/w show. We think he's a renaissance man doing great things.

Cinnamon Girl


It's refreshing to blog about a singer who has had thousands of Youtube views as it may mean you're ahead of the trend for once! Cinnamon Girl is another cool talent from Scandinavia. For us Scandinavia and Canada are where it's at at the minute.

Cinnamon Girl is Danish singer Camilla Roholm. She chose the name to sound like a superhero! There is a big electro pop influence in her music.


Checkout the 80s vibe in 'Devil in Me'

Lots of bright colours, neon, prints and clashing in her stylee.

Her first single 'Friends' led to comparisons with Gwen Stefani, Marina & The Diamonds, Madonna and Charli XCX. We bet Cinnamon Girl is not so cool with all this labelling. Her love of punk is an influence in this one.



Camilla Modelling
We're really impressed by the modelling pics we found of Camilla. Her look and style reminds us of Amanda Hendrick who is fantastic.

The lady is a vamp.




Finally 
Camilla has lots of potential both musically and in modelling. She's one to watch!
Cinnamon Girl's songs Devil in Me and Friends can both be downloaded for free.

80s and 90s Fashion!


80s and 90s Stylee Rocks!!

Our love for the 80s and 90s runs deep, especially for the movies and fashion. Our Narzipan Streetwear is always influenced by these decades of fashion glory as we modernise it and give it a hip new twist. We are not the only fans as you will see in the pictures below the vibrant colours and fun styling of 80s and 90s are big influences on current pop stars and fashionistas too.

Big Influence: Fresh Prince of Bel Air


The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is a fave and it ran from 1990 to 1996. It was the big break for Will Smith but it was not all about him as many people watched and copied diva Hilary's style. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air fashion was colourful, loud and funky. You can see some influence in Cher Lloyd's eclectic style now below.

  

Bananarama signature look in the 80s 

Narzipan digs this vibe 




I scream, you scream, someone stole this van that sells ice cream 
This van was stolen from the Custard Factory after our photo shoot
Tailored jackets with prominent shoulder pads was a key Hilary Banks trend. A cool hat would add interest and personality.


The Prince never did monochrome...




Nor do Stooshe now
It can also mean stoned or stashed away too
Narzipan also likes colour with zing





Cher takes it to another level with that magenta microphone


The colour printed t-shirt is everywhere nowadays.
 
Big earrings will get you big attention 

Flamboyant Footwear!
The prevalence of high tops on the high street is another tribute to the past.


Bow ties are one of Narzipan's signatures. We love the fun they add to clothes.

Denim Ruled the 80s World

Denim could not be escaped in the 80s and early 90s. Double denim, jackets, shorts, jeans and waistcoats created a denim overload.

Salt-n-Pepa Pushin it Real Good

Salt-n-Pepa formed in 1985 and carried on until 2002 before reforming in 2007
Little Mix looking good on last year's X Factor

More stonewash denim at their single launch
Rihanna adds class to her outfit with snappy accessories
The movie BIG was released in 1988 taking $150m at the box office
Tom Hanks was nominated for an Oscar for Big and has since won Best Actor twice

Rizzle Kicks just need that big piano to do their version of Chopsticks

Rizzle Kicks are inspired by old school hip-hop from the late 80s and early 90s. They have sold 1 million records worldwide.

Screeeeeeech!! It's Saved By The Bell!

Saved by the Bell originally aired in 1989 to 1993. The College Years and then the New Class took it right up until 2000.

This picture is from Victoria Secret's show in 2011. It could easily be a Saved by the Bell resort party
We like Rihanna too much to not include her again
These are from a Terry Richardson photo shoot
On the We Found Love video shoot the high-waisted skirt was the right way to go
Denim, varsity jackets, pumps, colour basics and scrunchies are your way to achieve the Saved by the Bell look.

Finally..

Take the colour, add denim and finish with current footwear fetish trend creepers to make it 2013 stylee like Azealia Banks
