tble Fashion Alternatives Inspire jieativity was the key word in fashion sthis year. Many guys simply kicked k in leyis, while girls could be seen in irts ranging from mid-calf to the mini, imqu to the year was the opportunity to exercise the versatility of one ' s wardrobe, ke; never before, fashion was on the any- thing goes level. At the beginning of the year, we saw much carryover from the sum- mer movie Flashdance. With the movie, a trend in cut T-shirts, which hung off of one shoulder, came into effect, for girls; however, as this idea faded and the weather became cooler, a more classic look became apparent. Casual, wool blazers, for both males and fe- males, were popular on campus. The fact that they could be thrown over anything, from jeans to a matching skirt, made them an ideal fashion. Generally, haircuts were worn short and very defined at the sides and toward the back. Carefree, short styles were an easy match with any look. It was not uncommon to see a group of friends breakdancing after school. Skills such as spinning on the back, flipping and turning were all part of the moves of a breakdancer. This popular craze originated in New York, but quickly caught on at Northview. What- ever the individual ' s taste, everyone had a personal and distinctive look because of the flexibility in wardrobe options and the varying forms of recreation. Dressed in a suede tie and pleated pants, Fred Salas demonstrates one of the many looks of evening wear through fashion ver- satility. 140 Fads, Fashions
