exit movement

After Taehyun’s new Instagram post with the caption ‘80’ it got me thinking more about the concept of this comeback.  (Note that this is my personal observation so I may be completely off and just blabbering on) After today’s comeback stages I noticed that 80′s fashion is a very important inspiration used by their stylist. (after working in film & wardrobe you learn how important the wardrobe chosen by the stylist is)  First let’s start with the outfits used for ‘Baby Baby’; They are completely 80′s inspired: (with a modern twist of course) -Pushed up sleeves  -Casual shirts/t-shits under designer jackets (shoulder pads) 

After seeing this stage and their outfits I thought of DURAN DURAN (colorful jackets, simple shirts, the pants) 

Then I looked at the stage for IMMATURE, the same outfits were used for the filming of the teasers and the album jacket in London. Self explanatory, 80′s punk/grunge fashion inspired outfits, paying tribute to all the great punk and rock and alternative bands of that time. 

The Sex Pistols, The clash, Nirvana..so many references of these bands in WINNER’s fashion: MINO’s long coat, Yoon’s lock chain necklace, JINWOO’s sheer shirt, Taehyun’s hair, Hoon’s suspenders, the leather jackets, the shoes it’s all so obvious and we all caught up on it the first time we saw the teaser.   Then we move on to the outfits for ‘SENTIMENTAL’ 

Although it seems simple, the tiny influences are there like Tae’s acid washed jean jacket, converse shoes… Mino was definitely representing 80′s Hip Hop fashion with the gold chain, ring and oversized colorful sweater. One thing that really got my attention was Jinwoo’s ‘Champion’ sweatshirt (displaying brand logos was very important in the 80s & ‘Champion’ was an extremely popular brand at that time).  (cr for the picture: @PeachTea0926 )
