Having trouble navigating the ‘80’s retro runway? While designers send madonna-wannabes down the catwalk, anything worth wearing can actually be found on Shiva diva Nina Hagen. Here’s the list of what to wear into the new millennium.--AS

 

Ragamuffin

What You'll Need:

Flowers (if flowers can't be had, cabbage will do.)

Something striped.

Something polka dotted.

 

Something with a hole in it.

Something that is too big.

Something that is too short.

This look can get you safely through the difficult years of adolescence and beyond.

Gypsy

What you'll need:

  • A long skirt (because grace is hard to come by)

  • Too much jewelry

  • A rooftop to dance on.

It’s in, but do it like you mean it.

Big Crazy Baby

 

What You'll Need:

  • Big Hair

  • Big Earrings

  • Big Smile

You know you've got one in you.

The

Immortelle

Some things will never go out of style

Lingerie on the outside(easier to wear than belly tops and low slung jeans. Trust me).

Pointy shoes (Think elf with attitude.)

Rhinestone anything (Be shiny)

Rosaries (Let’s face it– a thousand years later, they're still sexy.)

Opera makeup (Think Maria Callas from beyond the grave.)

Make that Faustian fashion pact.
