The 80s Are Back

Description:
Aside from sick Ninja Turtle pyjamas, I don’t remember too much of the 80s. As time passed and things got dreary, I felt an inexplicable pull toward the drama, excess and danger that defined the decade of my birth. So now, as I look back to four-year-old Joey’s wardrobe for inspiration, I realise that, yet again, the 80s are back! The Powerhouse Museum celebrates, in all it’s glory, the decade we just can’t seem to shake. Relive it for yourself, just don’t mistake it as a green light to wear fluro. – JP
