Flashback Flava

Beat Boxing, The Breakfast Club and the “B-boy” stance a recipe for 80’s nostalgia.

Today’s designers seem to have their drawing table positioned just to the left of their box of VHS tapes and conveniently positioned next to their boom box playing their favorite mix tape.

While sipping on RC Cola and tossing down Pop Rocks, these designers have been inspired to allow the 80’s to explode the runway.

This “flashback flava” for men has a taste of Miami Vice with the t-shirt and blazer twist and the savor of an MC with the tight jeans and hoodie profile.

Those born in the 80’s may not be able to identify with this style’s origination, but they should recognize their innovations are just a new spice to an old recipe.Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NLT) History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new.

What’s your favorite “flashback flava?”
