FLY GIRLS FASHION

The Fly Girls were the dance crew for one of the most iconic 90s comedy sketch shows, In Living Color, for 5 seasons. Choreographed by famous dancing queen Rosie Perez, the Fly Girls were not only known for amazing dance skills but sick fashion! They definitely had a way of catching your attention! Over the course of the series, many members came and went, most notably Jennifer Lopez, Carrie Ann Inaba and Lisa Marie Todd! 

With Halloween coming up fast, this could be a great opportunity to get your 90s fashion on and break out some funky dance moves with your friends. The Fly Girls always somehow matched, so we put together 5 looks below. Key things to keep in mind: gold jewelry, fishnets and patent leather shoes are a must! Velvet and flowy tops with fitted bottoms would be perfect too! Wear something that makes you stand out!

80s BRAND NAMES!

Back before fast fashion brands ruled the world, it was all about brand names. The Limited was responsible for many of the greatest brand names from the 80s: Victoria's Secret, Limited Too, Structure, Forenza and Express to name a few! We put together some outfits with vintage Forenza and Express below. Although ESPRIT was it's own entity, we've included a look a little bit about that similar, iconic line as well! 

THE LIMITED

 

During the 80s, The Limited went through a massive expansion which spawned many of today's most popular brands. In 1980, the first Limited Express store opened at Water Tower Place in downtown Chicago, which focused on trendy, fashion conscious women and teenagers. (It still does today!) Forenza was a private label owned by The Limited, which also produced comfortable and trendy clothing for women. Prices varied depending on markets, making The Limited a large profit-- enough to acquire several other brands in the 80s as well! These brand were known for being high-quality and trendsetting. 

ESPRIT

ESPRIT first got popularized in the 80s when Ettore Sottsass developed the ESPRIT headquarters in Germany in a complete Memphis Design concept. This iconic theme has never left the brand, and pieces from this time period go from fun, casual sportswear to comfy urban street wear.

These are brands that we constantly look out for and try to stock them as often as possible! Click here to check out our Etsy for more!
