Shoulders, neon colors, severe silhouettes, cutouts, you name it- we all saw how that marvelous decade came back en force following the Fall shows.

It seems now that the 80's have penetrated even further than the runway. Crimson lips, floormop mascara, and shocking Cyndi Lauper eyeshadow have resurfaced, replacing the previously in vogue "less is more" mentality towards painting ones face.

Even the music industry has experienced an 80's revival; French music collective Valerie has amassed an army of 80's New-New Wave Romantic Electro sounds, featuring artists from Anoraak and College to Ladyhawke and Daft Punk.

Naturally, all the cool kids are on board.

Are you?

Australia Fashion Week is currently happening, thanks to Rosemount Estate. It ends on May 1, so if you happen to be in Sydney for the next couple of days, we suggests you check out this budding fashion capital. Ginger and Smart, Anaessia's group collection, and Dion Lee were just a few of the highlights this week. Although, it wasn't all glitter and lights for Zimmermann, who experienced a power outage yesterday. Luckily, the technical difficulty was temporary and the show went on.

Look forward to some more Australian fashion for the next three days!
