Be warned – the Eighties are back. Lycra, puffball skirts and garish prints have returned to the catwalks, and interiors are following suit with shagpile carpets and furry phones. Love it or hate it, here are our top picks for this season’s brashest trend.
1. The ghost of fashion past
Time is a great healer, or so we thought. Just when we believed the style aberrations of the Eighties had been cast aside, long forgotten and forgiven, the trend pioneers felt the urge to revisit the bad taste era. Whether you condone the Eighties renaissance or not, this season’s new Autumn/Winter collections – both in fashion and the home – revisit the era. Interior ghosts such as sequinned cushions and neon tables like this shocking blue lacquered console (£695) from Heals, have returned to haunt us.
