The Retro Resurgence

In the upcoming spring season, the elite consumers of fashion meccas, such as Rodeo Drive and Fifth Avenue, will sport 1940s-inspired blouses and satin shorts. Additionally, a trip to the local mall will reveal mannequins draped in fluorescent elastic dresses made popular in the 1980s. Don’t be fooled—it’s still the 21st century. “Retro” tends to only temporarily exit the fashion scene.
