In honor of ’80s Fashion Week at Mirror80, today we spotlight the role of fashion in the realm of 1980s music video. Thanks to the advent of MTV in 1981, musicians had a new outlet for creativity, and they quickly filled the screen with the latest styles. A variety of looks emerged… Today we showcase a handful of them, as well as the music videos in which they appeared.
Below you will find a list of looks, as well as links to their corresponding videos and Mirror80 blog posts. Seriously, folks–watch the videos. You have to see them in action to get the full fashion effect! Which may very well inspire some vintage clothing shopping. Good thing our next post is all about ’80s fashion sources and resources. Stay tuned…
