Have you walked past SUPRE lately?? It is like a flash back to the 80s. All the same FLURO colours screaming out the door at you. They have even re-hashed the plastic jewellery.

If I’d had a crystal ball when I was a perky teenager/young 20 something I’d have been SO IN now, it would have been ridiculous.

I even saw A GUY WEARING HAPPY SHOES last week, I tell you I almost had to stop him and say WTF!!!

In the 80s, CINCH was the SUPRE in the shopping world, and if you were lucky enough to live in the Campsie/Earlwood/Kingsgrove area you would beat a track to their door almost religiously. Every piece of carefully handmade (read cheap and nasty) piece of clothing was there at hand, eagerly awaiting your purchase. And because not much was over $20, you could usually buy multiple items……… sounds like Supre today…….

Any area would have had their own version on CINCH, and their own 80s haven to shop.
And as with the hair and makeup, too many accessories were NEVER ENOUGH.

Think WHAM….even in the 80s they were a bit much. But we all did CHOOSE LIFE. And today we are RELAXing and walking around in a variety of other semi suggestive slogans.

It’s the same, but with a twist I guess. Where we wore skin hugging fluro orange skirts that came down past our knees, with ballet shoes and pink studded belts over over sized T-Shirts, the kids today wear tiny bum showing shorts, crop tops with fluro coulours and multilayered singlets, and flatties.

However daggy we feel as we look back at ourselves, we know we were truely the LAST original fashion (and music) era.

EVERYTHING is sampled from the 80s. Sure, they might give it a shake and a stir, but its the same same………………..

Here is a link to a RIOTOUS thread from the Vogue Australia Forums…. What was cool in the 80s
