Dynasty Drama
The inspiration: Aaron Spelling's megahit series Dynasty was spoofed on runways with over-the-top, extravagant looks
How it showed up: Indiscreetly. High gloss and high drama took center stage. At Dolce & Gabbana and Louis Vuitton, exaggerated sleeves and dazzling colors came together for maximum impact. At Balenciaga and Ralph Lauren, soft fabrics and shimmery pastels spelled (slightly wild) romance
Who did it best: At Balenciaga, Nicolas Ghesquière's cascading drapes and lace bras resurrected the decade's after-5 cocktail glamour
Tough Stuff
The inspiration: The downtown club scene in New York City, with its hard-as-nails attitude and rock-'n'-roll edge
How it...
