Fashion has been steeped in the 90’s for a few seasons, but Spring 2017 is a definite return to the 80’s. Topshop Unique played on the decade’s biggest (and we mean big) signatures from supermodel hair to party-ready mini dresses.
The collection was in a word? Bold. Animal prints, thigh-high slits, off-the-shoulder silhouettes, and transparent fabrics were all on the agenda.
That trademark 80’s power dressing was given a modern spin with a pleated peplum vest paired with leather trousers, a tuxedo-inspired dress with a slight peek of a contrast white bra showing through, high-waist trousers, and a grey blazer layered over a black patent dress.
And accessories were no wallflowers either. Hot pink pumps, dangling pearl and crystal earrings, spike stud anklets, and oversized safety pin baubles were just a few of the accoutrements on display.
The brand is also taking see-now, buy-now to the next level by making pieces from the collection available to consumers now. With prices starting at $98 and going as high as $1,100, it’s probably best to stick to a piece or two so you don’t completely shatter the bank.
There’s no shortage of celebs in Topshop, from Nicole Scherzinger to mommy-to-be Tika Sumpter. Fewer stars wear the brand’s more expensive offshoot, but a sultry slit pencil skirt, patent shawl-collar jacket, black and white double slit printed dress, and navy strap-accented mini seem like good reasons to make a change for Spring.
