I am OLD enough to have seen the rise and the fall of 80′s glam rock. Big hair, big makeup, the birth of spandex… oh yah, baby. I saw it all! In recent years I have been pretending not to notice the re-emergence of 80′s style. Most of it should have been left back there for good, but there have been a few familiar trends in design that I can embrace.
First, METAL! My favorite of which are the gorgeous lights from Hudson Lighting. They remind me of the layers of metal chains we all wore around our necks, waists, wrists and the many, many earrings that we lined up our ears…The more shine the better! Obscene body socks in Animal, snake, croc… all metalics, mostly in lame(pronounced la-may), spandex and leather adorned our favorite bad boys. Thank the Gods of Rock that those styles are only back in small accessories… at least so far…
Next, DAY GLOW. We wore it with pride, the brighter your shirt, the more popular you were, you know, like in Saved By the Bell. I have chosen just a few pieces from the showroom I work in to demonstrate day glow’s return to decor.
