“The new issue of Entertainment Weekly has a list of pop culture moments of the last 25 years that influenced fashion. I’ve gathered here some of the interesting items on it:

Early Madonna (fingerless gloves, lingerie-styled wedding dress, crucifixes);
E i braccialetti di gomma nera!
Michael Jackson circa Thriller (Jheri curls, loafers with white socks);
Ally McBeal (microminis);
E il diritto per le donne a essere nevroticamente in cerca d’amore… :-)
Miami Vice (roomy linen suits, sockless loafers);
E le canotte pastello a vista!
mid-’80s mall pop like Tiffany and Debbie Gibson (biker shorts, skorts, scrunchies);
Jennifer Beals in Flashdance (scissored sweatshirts);
E l’abbigliamento danza nella vita vera, scaldamuscoli, fascette fermasudore, body che spunta dalla maglia giù dalla spalla…
Gwen Stefani circa No Doubt (white tanks, studded bra straps, bondage pants);
Kanye West (those sunglasses);
Rihanna (the bob);
Janet Jackson circa Rhythm Nation (the military look—epaulets, cadet caps);
Pretty in Pink (Molly Ringwald’s DIY prom-dress, Duckie’s bolo tie);
Il rosa!!
Reality Bites (Lisa Loeb’s cat-eye frames);
E il look grungy dei protagonisti
Mr. T in The A-Team (a sort of proto-bling);
The Golden Girls (shoulder pads, sequins);
early Shania Twain (bare midriffs enter Nashville music culture);
Puff Daddy and Mase’s “Mo Money Mo Problems” (bright, baggy tracksuits);
Beverly Hills 90210 (sideburns)
