FASHION PICKS: NEW WAVE RAVE

Friday, January 25, 2008

newwave1.jpg

2007 was full of new sounds from artists. With Kanye & Daft Punk’s Stronger being one of the years hottest songs, it opened the door for a new international sound for Hip Hop.

With that international party sound comes international party fashion that made its way down some of Spring 2008 runway shows. Bright colors, fun patterns, and techno shoes shows what New Wave is all about. As this sound evolves more in music this year (with upcoming albums from Janet and Beyonce to name a few), this style trend will definitely evolve as well.

Or you can get a head start now, it’s Friday and the party is about to begin…

I am so ready. 80’s baby for real. Flourescent shoelace hair ribbons and patent leather shoes with ribbon laces, and tights and socks with those damn jumpers with the shorts already attached. MAN I’m having a fashion flash back.

Ok those REEBOK and BALENCIAGA shoes are UGLY as all get out.Sorry but that’s type of fashion is played out. I’m all for bringing fashion back, but dag nabbit it better be FLY and wearable.

I will say some of the clothes are rockable.

Not to be condescending, but I totally think the fashion posts have improved sooooooo much!
The Christopher Kane dress, of course everyone remembers Eve in it in that video but I saw it in a layout months before she wore it and it’s stunning on the model. If you’re willowy, it’s really a good look. It’s one of those pieces that’s really for the lithe girl.
Also, The House of Holland (I guess. New one for me!) t-shirt dress reminds me of the Stella McCartney “Slippery When Wet” dress from a few years back. There’s a couple of really nice ones on Patricia Field’s site, too.
I just love this post…the whole thing…it’s visually stunning, really!!!

OMG, I feel like I’m 7 yrs old again w, the neon reeboks…. LOL I remember when this was all Punky Brewster and ‘nem. LOL WTH? Where is Cyndi Lauper’s old azz when you need her? This was hott back when Paula Abdul was supposed to be a singer. “Straight Up now tell me……”

well, it’s right on time cause Paula is a singer again (at least for Randy’s new CD). You haven’t heard her new song? It’s actually hot. It’s a dance track and it’s a very good song. She’ll be performing at the super bowl pre-game party.

R&B star Toni Braxton will release a brand new album around the Spring or Summer of 2008. The new album will be “classic, old-school, Toni’s style”. This was announced by Toni Braxton herself in a recent interview the show “Crossroads” (hosted by Sheletta Brundidge) did with her. CLICK HERE to watch the full interview. In other great news, Toni just extended her “Toni Braxton: Revealed” show at the Flamingo Las Vegas hotel until the end of the year. Toni began this show in August 2006 and thanks to its success look how long it’s lasting! Good for Toni. And i’m also really excited about her upcoming album! Simply love all her music. Her latest CD was “Libra” (2005) which was for me one HOT album despite not selling that well, i still play one of my faves songs in it “Shadowless”. Thanks Michael!

Wow, this is a great post Tianna! I was NOT a fan of 80s fashion, but I’m relly feelin some of these ol skool looks. That Heath Leger dress is gorgeous and I love the funky bracelets and the leather jackets. As for the Reeboks, I’ve been rockin those for a minute already…

Sweet, because Cold Hearted Snake was my track back in the day. My little dance team had a routine and everything. This stuff takes me back. I’m about to go to the store and see if I can find some Jelly Shoes somewhere now. All i need is a gospel play starring Irene Cara and the black dude from Desiging Women and I’m set.

Oh, hellz no! That Ysl dress - I had a capri set like that when I was like 8 yrs old in the 80’s. Where is the originality? And watch these young kids swear they are doing something new.

I must say that the Christoper Kane dresses are cute.

The clothes are great! I’m a total fashio/music/style JUNKIE- but I’m growing concerned about the CULTURE of COMSUMERISM that is SWALLOWING african americans. We don’t have to buy all those expensive runway looks. Cmon ladies- do you really need the Sping 08 Leger dress??? Lets get our PRIORITES STRAIGHT & Keep it Sexy- BALANCE PEOPLE BALANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always love the fashion postsI copped those 25th Anni. Reebok joints in neon pink this summer, and as a fashionista, have been rocking them very nicely if I must say so myself. The rainbow laces let you do sooo much regardless the color of the shoe. I like to mix it up! Love the the jackets. Colored denim never goes out of style!

that style is huge here in france right now
mostly coz of techtonik , a new dance invented by white folks(for one time)
some find it ridiculous, others trendy but even blacks do it.

I’m absolutely, positively LOVING this 80’s New Wave look!!! I think that the sound Kanye and them French boys r bringing, is definitely a breath of fresh air after all the ‘Laffy Taffys’ and whatnot. For the New Wave style, check out this dude from London, TIMO on http://www.myspace.com/timoworld. He calls his style Electromelancholic, and I think it’s really fitting, he’s actually a friend of mine…

LOVE the Herve Leger and YSL dresses! The 80’s are making a comeback but I kinda think if you’re old enough to remember wearing clothes like this back in the 80’s you’re probably TOO OLD to rock them now…sorry- jus sayin’. Leave this fashion to us ( anyone born after ‘83 )- we love 80’s fashion- it’s our turn now! lol.

70.

mizzlizz

Saturday, January 26, 2008 /

hahahaha. yeah, people been rockin this in NYC for awhile now, but it’s still hot.

i’m def getting a pair of brightly colored skinny jeans, and i love those house of holland shirts. my dream would be to rock a herve leger dress for my 20th bday next week, but that ain’t gonna happen! LOL

71.

Saturday, January 26, 2008 /

Just cause you were born in the 80s doesn’t make you an 80s baby….lol

80s baby= you were in school in the 80s…pre-k on up

If you were born in ‘86 on up, I think you are not an official 80s baby. Too young to even remember anything

72.

Saturday, January 26, 2008 /

Alot of this REALLY HOT gear reminds me of things from one of my favourite movies of all time “The Fifth Element” I’ve actually been rocking many of these colours for a minute already & love the style, the vibe, the colour & the flare!!!

73.

Saturday, January 26, 2008 /

i’ve already been considering changing up my style… now it’s official. the new wave style has been around for awhile… it isn’t fashionable when you’re out and see 2 or more people with your same outfit, or carbon copies of it…

i heard the DAFT PUNK song “Stronger” back in 06 at a volleyball tournament b/4 i heard the Kanye version… and this new style transcends genre… like if u go to the mall u cud see and emo-looking girl, a cheerleader, and hollyweerdo chick fighting over the same pair of skinnys… the new loud colors isn’t really my style but i’d rock crazy sneaks any day.

82.

@29

everyone does dress like this now… it so easy to find and buy target got hella teez like those… and every party i go to everyone may think they dress different but it all looks the same.

it usta be just a few of my friends at school who dreessed in loud colors with weird shoes… but now it’s everyone EVERYONE… it’s whatevv tho. lol… it’s better than tha D-Boy look

83.

tia

Sunday, January 27, 2008 /

ummmm the point of being called an 80’s “baby” is that you were a baby or at least a kid in the 80’s….therefore u are a 80’s baby duh……jus because u dont remember anything from the 80’s does not mean that u are not a 80’s baby……..who made some of you expects on the matter neway…born in the 80’s=80’s baby

cant even believe this was an active conversation lol

84.

Co-Sign: #30 & #40. I’m surprised everyone is getting excited about this post. I actually consider it 3 years late lol. This whole look is kinda retired now that every Tom, Dick & Harry is doing it. I remember when I was laughed at for doing it, now its a “trend”. This look is too ‘Myspace’ if u get my drift, u’ll know what I mean lol ;) I retired my 54’11s in summer ‘07….
