Hawks Do It With Style The new fashions of the ' 80 ' s, as fashions always have, are constantly changing. Considering this and the rising prices of clothes, it seenns almost a miracle that anyone could keep up with them enough so as to be called fashionable. But with their seemingly endless supply of funds most students at E.D. managed to remain stylish throughout the year. This years fads and fashions continuously fluctuated from one extreme to another. Often people change fashions just to stand out and be noticed, while others are striving to be unique. Another possible reason why fashions change, however, is that fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. Most of the new outrageous fashions were started by popular music groups. The Punk Rock, New Wave, Rock- A-Billy, and Mod styles, for instance, were all recently inspired by rock groups. The Mod fashions included the wearing of old raincoats, thin ties, and other distinctions reminiscent of the British Invasion into America in the early ' 60 ' s. Rock-A-Billy fashions came basically for the ' 50 ' s, and included greased back hair and clothes mainly from that time period. New Wave and Punk Rock with their outlandish hairstyles and gaudy clothing still survived the everchanging tide of popular fashion this year. Other fads and fashions were bermuda shorts, combat fatigues, loafers and walkman radios. Items, that in all likelihood, will lose their popularity within a few months. With all the differences of opinion on what is stylish it became hard to tell what was in. Perhaps the wonder of fashion really lies in its diversity, because it allows ev- eryone to express his unique style, even if that style will be outmoded in a few months.
