Fabulous Fashions of the 1980s
In the 1980s, big hair was the trend for both women and men. Yuppies climbed the corporate ladder in shoulder-padded power suits while punk rockers shocked mainstream audiences by wearing ripped clothing, multiple piercings, and colorful hair. Michael Jackson was the reigning King of Pop, MTV first came on the air, and the Rubik's Cube entertained the masses. Readers will learn about the fashions, fads, pop culture icons, and world events of the 1980s.
