il ( SffMMTiii individualiiy While fashion continually changes, it can usually be categorized into one basic style of dressing. This 1984 school year proved to be the exception to the rule. The main idea in attire this year was to be dif- ferent, instead of going by a uniform and certain code, as has been the tradition in the past ' . Ex- amples of this custom are the revived 60 ' s and Rockabilly looks of ' 83. In 1984, though, students found that by being unique, they could create their own impresssions through fashion trends in hopes that others would follow their example. This being unique, or rather, daring to be different, made ' 84 the year of trends. A prime example of this trendiness was the plastic shoes which were worn by a large portion of the female population at IHS. Guys clung to those all time favorites, topsiders. ■ A popular idea in accessories was multiple ear- piercing. This fad, like many others, was not limited solely to the female gender. Clothing seemed to reflect the motto ' anything goes . The most popular color combinations were dominated by black, grey, and white. Short jeans and the revived semi-50 ' s look in denim jackets were seen a lot. Styles for hair in ' 84 also reflected the desire for individuality. For girls, the ever-popular bob cut and all-over layered cut seemed to rank among the most frequently seen hair styles. The male sur- fing population gave the word layered a new connotation by layering the back of their hair in a multi-level fashion. Short hair was the most common. The bright colors and geometric styling make trendy clothing really fun to wear, said Anne Knuts, senior. On the whole, 1984 was a year for making im- pressions of individuality through clothing and ac- cessories, but more generally, through fads and fashions. — by Lynn Allison i ll f fl 1 DRESSED TO KILL: Capturing the trendy look through gray and black, Tom Baldwin creates her own impression of individuality ri .?i»? 14 Fads and Fashions
