Like, totally, the 80’s are back! Time has a funny way of bringing moments back around again that we thought were long gone.  We have seen that the 1980’s is a strong trend coming back in these upcoming seasons. Bell-shaped high waisted trousers, denim tweed, and exaggerated shoulders, with details of pearls, rhinestones, and ruffles. Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini Collection transcends the audience to the middle of Monte Carlo jet-set of the 70’s and 80’s, and exceptionally inspired by, Princess Stephanie and Caroline of Monaco. “Two icons, two souls, one style,” his Instagram caption stated.

The song, “Irresistible” opened the show, the hit song that Princess Stephanie released in 1986. It went number one for 10 weeks. In the video, she wears a turquoise button-up with a zig-zag print, belted with a leather jacket, and big rounded shoulders. Lorenzo re-created this silhouette for his Spring collection. Although the collection is very 80’s inspired, Lorenzo Serafini, put a modern embrace to it. Serafini held firmly to the royal sisters’ ’80s silhouettes. What made them such fashion icons was their 21st-century modern perspective.

There was an infinitely amount of denim, it is heavy but also light, with different washes. Tops and jackets are used as pieces of every-day wear with marine stripes, flounces, denim tweed, and rhinestone trousers. You can tell that the designer was attentive to his choices. On jackets and pants, fabrics are also braided to create tight belts. Of course, you can’t forget about the party dresses! They were short, ruffled, pleated, and snatched at the waist, in shades of purple, pink, white, or red. There was a crystal-studded black mini black dress that was made from eco-friendly leather. We love sustainability!

Hair and makeup were inspired by Stephanie and Caroline as well with MAC Cosmetics placing the focus on the eyes, emphasized only by a generous layer of black mascara on the upper and lower lashes and fully designed eyebrows.
