Description:This book examines the main costume and fashion trends in the United States and Europe during the 1980s and 1990s by drawing on the styles promoted by fashion designers and store catalogs and featured in movies and television programs of the time. It examines the world of couture - evident in fashion magazines such as Vogue and social picture magazines such as People - and, at the other end of the spectrum, the «street,» where young people reflected popular culture by dressing in styles they created themselves. Theater and fashion students, re-enactors, and those interested in amateur dramatics will find inspiration here - whether costuming a group of 1980s «power dressers» or a 1990s «grunge» band
