Preschoolers loved this Fisher-Price toy that made animal sounds. The Farmer Says started out as a classic pull-string toy, but today’s version has a handle that lasts a little longer.

What as popular fashion in the 80s? The answer depends on age, location and personal preference. There were a lot of fashion genres within 1980s fashion making it hard to pin point only one look. For the sake of these article, I will focus on everyday fashion of the typical woman.
Long before roller blades, the roller skate was the coolest toy on wheels. Kids would spend weekends skating outside or at the local roller rink. Whether you had the metal kind you slid on over your sneakers or the totally awesome boot skate, it was all about getting out and rolling! You can still find these today in stores and online in the classic design. Some things just never go out of style! Over the years, designers have also used suits to explore gender identity.For Louis Vuitton's spring womenswear collection,Nicolas Ghesquièredrew on power dressing and androgynous 80s style for inspiration. Sure enough, the Colour Me Beautiful books of the 1980s sweepingly categorised any person of colour as a winter, which the company has since admitted “doesn’t work”).

In Spring 2020, Jacquemus usedtheir infamous hot pink runway(which stretched over a third of a mile through a lavender field in the French countryside) to flaunt bubblegum pink blazers, dresses, and mini Chiquito handbags.

Channel your inner Working Girl’s Tess McGill or Mugler woman with a powerful professional outfit. The 80s was the epitome of power dressing, with bold and sharp suiting silhouettes that defined the decade. This era was famous for its shoulder pads – it’s a great way to create an hourglass silhouette and create the illusion of a tiny waist. The surge of business casual for women during the decade paid homage to the suiting from the 40s, and such, a symbol of women’s rights and feminism. Some of the biggest influences in this era included Thierry Mugler, who reclassified what a strong woman would look like in the office – exaggerated lapels, slim-cut pencil skirts, and touches of lace blended hyper-masculine and feminine aesthetics into an instantly iconic style.
News Breaking News! This category is devoted to all of our news articles, with a focus on the biggest breaking stories in the world of show business. We’ve managed to break plenty of viral news stories in the past, from the release of the new Lion King live-action movie to the announcement that Holly Willoughby would be replacing Ant McPartlin on I’m A Celebrity. As well as entertainment news we also feature breaking articles from the most weird and wonderful corners of the internet. If you want to keep up-to-date with fascinating news stories that are slightly off-the-radar, then this is the place to be. Who would have thought that dolls born in a Cabbage Patch would cause riots in stores? Even though some people thought these dolls were ugly, the vast majority of people couldn’t get their hands on them fast enough. There are even little bits of space cut into the tips to represent where the dreaded apex seals would go. These are more than goofy 3-spokes, they are miniature lessons in innovative engine design. While said engine looks to have lost the fight to its cylindered cousin, it certainly holds the trophy to blatant self-promotion and most diagram-derived design. For whatever that’s worth. More than 40 years after the original “Star Wars” movie was released, its toy franchise remains one of the most popular in history. And with new movies scheduled for years to come, they look to stay relevant. But nothing takes the place in our hearts of the vintage collection of toys.
32. Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots
The Masters of the Universe toy line remains one of the most popular action figure collections ever made. Remember He-Man, Man-At-Arms, Skeletor and She-Ra? Of course you do. While Williams is happy to welcome a new generation, she’s dubious about the efficacy of AR filters.
To the converted, the benefits of knowing your colour season are obvious – look better, spend less, feel more confident. But perhaps the biggest barrier to Gen Zs hopping all the way onboard is colour itself. While colour season analysis never completely went away, the 80s were its heyday – until now. Susanne Williams has been working as a colour consultant in Australia since 2012, after training with House of Colour in the UK. Until a year ago, her typical clientele fell into two categories: the women who had had their colours done in the 80s and wanted a refresher, and their daughters. The 1980s was a time of fashion innovation and self-expression. It was almost a renaissance of fashion, with people daring to be different and pushing the limits of what was considered acceptable. Prior to the 1970s, fashion was quite conservative, but with the hippie movement and the sexual revolution came the opening up of fashion to become more provocative. The 80s took that to the next level with bold colors, more skin, and unique accessories. The fashion choices of the era reflected a cultural transformation where people were no longer afraid to be themselves, and that mentality shone through in their clothing choices. Many consider the 80s fashion for women to be the best of the 20th century, and it’s easy to see why with all the creative and daring looks that came out of the era. The critical thinker and fashion personality Lillian Ahenkan, AKA Flexmami, has a different take on those confused comments under the TikTok videos. She notes that people’s initial reaction to figuring out their colours is often bewilderment. “And that’s the point! You really can’t tell.”
17. Roller Skates
I’ve spent a lot of time looking at the filters and when I look at the comments underneath, pretty much everyone’s wrong. Like, that poor person is going to go off and spend all this money [buying clothes in the wrong colours] thinking that’s my season.” I don’t think any of these colour theories … were made with non-white bodies in mind Lillian Ahenkan, AKA Flexmami Nothing hit the spot on a hot, summer’s day than a Sno-cone made by Snoopy and his Peanuts friends! Some ideas are so simple and so classic, there’s no need to make major improvements to it. That’s why you can still find the original version on sale today online and in stores! This handheld electronic toy had a variety of games for kids to play: tic-tac-toe, memory game, puzzles and more. Sure, it may look like an old-style touchtone phone, but it was pretty cool in its day! The Big Trak toy was for me, the one that got away. The programmable vehicle came out in 1979 and was made by Milton Bradley. The toy could store up to 16 commands and allowed the programmer to decide what the electronic vehicle, along with its cargo trailer, was to do, and even let you jettison whatever was in the trailer.
In the last year Williams has started to welcome a younger client base: women in their late teens and early 20s who discovered colour season analysis on TikTok. Adults who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s are riding a wave of nostalgia that is crashing over just about everything in pop culture. From TV show reboots such as “ Magic School Bus,”“ The Jetsons” and, of course, “ Roseanne” to the return of Jolt Cola and Caboodles, everything that’s old is new again. These Little People had no moveable arms, legs or head, but they were in just about every kid’s room dating even before the 1980s! Probably the most popular play set for Fisher-Price Little People is the classic farm. We love how when the doors opened, a cow would moo! Fisher-Price now has an updated version of this iconic play set.
When you think of 80s fashion for women, an image of Jane Fonda in a leotard and leg-warmers undoubtedly enters your mind. After all, her aerobics videos were unbelievably popular during the decade and brought forth a wave of new workout fashion. Matching the decade’s theme of excess, this workout style featured bold outfits for women. From high-rise bodysuits and headbands to neon-bright leggings and bike shorts, 80s workout fashion was loud and proud. When it comes to her favorite collections, Jones says Thierry Mugler instantly comes to mind. "He ruled the '80s. His fall 1984 show is what fashion fantasy dreams are made of. Pat Cleveland descended from the ceiling in a glistening gown looking like an ethereal angel. She was pregnant for that show and coincidentally was supposed to be representing the Virgin Mary." She also loves the Issey Miyake fall 1981 collection, particularly the famous blue plastic bodice (which she actually has in her personal collection). As for her favorite '80s fashion pop culture moments, she says, "Anything Grace Jones ever wore," like, "the looks that Azzedine Alaïa created for her character May Day in the 1985 Bond movie A View to Kill."
