Inspirational Graphics

In the 1980s everyone watched Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and dreamed of being a jet-setting yuppie. Everything from boots to jackets were given "travel patches" meant to evoke the stickers on Victorian era steamer trunks. Everything from T-shirts to ski pants got the travel treatment. At Kokorokoko we are deep into this trend and have a lot of awesome examples of "travel graphics". Like this denim jacket from Jordache:

It is awesome how it is talking about itself on the patch--"balance tailoring makes you look great"...THANKS! You get to wear an ad for the clothing you are already wearing!

Sometimes the graphics were not on patches but directly silk-screened on like this awesome "Club Adventure" bat-wing sleeve crop top with MATCHING PANTS! The guy in the parachute has MEMBERSHIP!! Collegiate fonts, major metropolitan areas, adventure, all of these things spell money$$
This cotton spandex bike onesie is emplasoned with a globe and just like the Jordache is total meta fashion!

...primary colors are so slimming!!

Ahhh, the boots. These boots are made by "Wild Pair" and that pretty much sums them up. They are high heeled "Candies" style with little patches all over reminiscent of a steamer trunk that has traveled far and wide. This patch style was popular in the late 80s because I think it was meant to evoke a life of wealthy jet-setting epitomized in shows like "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"
