Retro Baby

Jeffrey Monterio takes us on a nostalgic trip down 80s lane. In my opinion, there's quite a bit of 'miss', the lurid green prints for example do make me want to run and hide in the safety of Topshop, but here is the selection of 'hits' I am planning on channeling as soon as the sun comes back out...

My Mickey Shaped Heart...


A little Disney is long overdue, especially when it is 80s themed

Playing the Field...

After getting back to grips with my Abercrombie project it seems I am now channelling an 80's American High School student in my fashion preferences. I choose not to phase through trends as quickly as others, but rather add to my collection of small obsessions every now and again, and I have a feeling this one is a keeper. Anything that vaguely resembles Breakfast Club swing shirts and Gilbert Grape oversized tees has my heart all a flutter. And just as this fancy is reaching its peak, along comes Karla Spetic. Awash with pastel colours and unconventional cuts this collection is far from sickly sweet. The bold two ply sweaters and sharply cut tailored jackets give a gentle push into 80s chic and I have fallen hard for her orange person print two piece. I think she's channeling what I'm channeling...

Last night Phil Collins saved my life...
