On Friday, the L.A. Times fashion blog took us way, way back with its post about the comeback of ’80s fashion. Yes, that makes me cringe, too. They also put out a call for readers to submit photos of their ’80s fashion awesomeness (or should I say fashion atrocities?). That made me think: why not do a ShopTalk version? So, ShopTalkers, send me your fave ’80s pics, and I’ll post ‘em on the blog. If we get a good response, there might even be a prize in store for the best photo. For inspiration, I leave you with this image of D Magazine managing editor Eric Celeste. Now, get to scanning!
That is one hot piece of 1986.
You look like Andrew McCarthy from Pretty in Pink and St. Elmo’s Fire.
Eric is so cute in this picture! He does look just like Andrew McCarthy.
ah, yes, Woodward Park.
That toupee looks great on Eric. He should go back to it.
