Now through April 16, 2023, the Musee des Art Decoratifs, aka MAD in Paris, has a show called The 1980s: Fashion, Design and Graphic Design in France. It boasts over 700 different items including furniture, fashion designs, posters, photos, even album covers and fanzines from an era they say “represented a joyful clash of styles and how that memorable decade filled the worlds of fashion, design and graphic arts with a spontaneity and freedom.”
You see here a dress in leather with enormous shoulder pads by Claude Montana which actually dates to 1979. Such shoulder pads were found in almost every women’s silhouette for a time and you could even buy a camisole with shoulder pads built into it in order to update an outfit that did not have them. Yes, they were that necessary to happiness. The usual explanation was the move of more women into corporate leadership roles and the need to copy the size of men’s shoulder pads, but honestly, they were huge. Far bigger than what I saw in men’s tailored clothing.

Who was the sexiest woman of 1986? It wasn’t a movie star or a model or an athlete. It wasn’t a musician or a Royal or a media personality. It was this woman… Betty Crocker… as painted by Harriet Pertchik for the company’s 7th portrait commissioning of their famous icon.🖌️ Harriet used her daughter and two professional models for inspiration but added a lot of her own imagination and interpretation to achieve what would become a very alluring 1980s image. Harriet wanted to make her look approachable and modern but not trendy. She created a wash-and-wear hairstyle for her, a dress-for-success suit and hoop earrings all in an effort to make her look friendly, confident and dependable just like the food brand she represented. ♥️ Men, in particular, loved, loved, loved this version of Betty so much so that they wrote fan letters to Harriet extolling Betty’s beauty and how her face made them want to jump into the kitchen and start cooking too.♥️ You’d never imagine a food brand could have the power to set someone’s heart all a flutter, but Betty was a particularly magical creature right from the very beginning. . . . . . . #bettycrocker #1980s #popculture #1980sfashion #1980style #vintagebeauty https://www.instagram.com/p/CpBAzMuOf3W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
