I'm loving the return of the 80s fashion - the darker, more Gothic 80s.
Nothing beats a pair of opaque black tights, black turtle neck, black mini and black sky high heels. A nice compliment with the Gothic Revival rising out of the interiors scene.

Fendi's Inspiration?
Ziggy Stardust, Gary Numan (as sampled in the Fendi runway music) and the girls from the Addicted to Love video.

We're seeing the 80s Gothic Revival look at Fendi, Alexander McQueen and Costume National - to name a few.
Watch a small sample of the FENDI F/W 2008 show below.
