maybe i'm in the minority but i like 80s influence (not that i think a lot of current designers are doing it well). imo the 80s was the most artistic and revolutionary decade for fashion if you look at designers like rei kawakubo, yohji yamamoto, gaultier, mugler, westwood, galliano, gianfranco ferre, etc. a lot of 80s was certainly horrendous, but the best 80s fashion was trailblazing, sculptural, and conceptual. i think it's good if current designers want to reference the 80s, just as long as they look at what was good about 80s fashion.
also fashion goes in cycles-the 80s were inspired by the mod 60s, the 90s by the 70s, and now the 00s by the 80s. probably by the turn of the decade, we will start seeing fewer colors and big shoulders, more relaxed silhouettes and softer palettes.
