Popular TV programs, such as Dynasty and Dallas set a trend for big hair styles, glamorous looks and stunning "Joan Collins" shoulder pads.

Pop stars such as Madonna, Toyah Wilcox, Adam Ant, Boy George and Spandau Ballet set the fashion trends for teens to follow.

The power suit was the thing, being worn by both men and women and for the first time people started to really take note of the brand name of the clothing they and others were wearing.  Designers like Donna Karan, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren offered high street fashions for men and women.

Clothing shapes changed as men and women started to wear loose shirts and close fitting trousers.

Platform shoes were THE style of footwear to be seen in.

Models at this time are epitomised by Christie Brinkley who was also the fact of the makeup label " Cover Girl ".
