Reporter Hannah Marriott tries out colour season analysis for a feature, 2015. Photograph: Alecsandra Raluca Drăgoi/The Guardian The Big Trak toy was for me, the one that got away. The programmable vehicle came out in 1979 and was made by Milton Bradley. The toy could store up to 16 commands and allowed the programmer to decide what the electronic vehicle, along with its cargo trailer, was to do, and even let you jettison whatever was in the trailer.

As a wave of women entered the workforce in the 80s, suits became a symbol of powerful businesswomen breaking the Glass Ceiling and fighting for equal rights in the workplace.In recent years, Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the #MeToo movement sparked a major resurgence in power dressing.

The kids’ version of a “boom box,” the Fisher-Price cassette player would let you listen to your favorite tunes, or record them off the radio (shhh!!) if you could avoid those darn commercials! Admit it, you recorded yourself plenty of times, too!When it comes to her favorite collections, Jones says Thierry Mugler instantly comes to mind. "He ruled the '80s. His fall 1984 show is what fashion fantasy dreams are made of. Pat Cleveland descended from the ceiling in a glistening gown looking like an ethereal angel. She was pregnant for that show and coincidentally was supposed to be representing the Virgin Mary." She also loves the Issey Miyake fall 1981 collection, particularly the famous blue plastic bodice (which she actually has in her personal collection). As for her favorite '80s fashion pop culture moments, she says, "Anything Grace Jones ever wore," like, "the looks that Azzedine Alaïa created for her character May Day in the 1985 Bond movie A View to Kill." I think it is super important for sustainable, slow fashion to know what colours actually look good on you,” Priest says. “It can stop you from over-consuming and getting trapped in fast fashion and trends. Brynn Jones, owner of Aralda Vintage in Los Angeles, where actresses like Alexa Demie and Taylor Russell shop for archival designer finds, has always been inspired by the boldness of the era. In an interview, she tells us how she particularly loves, "the structured silhouettes, abstract and playful shapes," and, "the unapologetic glamour and all of the statement pieces made to command the room." Like many of us who are enamored with the time period, Jones can't help but gush over the accessories. "The hats! The earrings! The brooches! The belts! The gloves!" she says. "Some of my favorite accessories from that era were made by Christian Lacroix, Yves Saint Laurent, and Karl Lagerfeld. Also, sunglasses by Alain Mikli, Issey Miyake, and Kenzo."

What as popular fashion in the 80s? The answer depends on age, location and personal preference. There were a lot of fashion genres within 1980s fashion making it hard to pin point only one look. For the sake of these article, I will focus on everyday fashion of the typical woman. Preschoolers loved this Fisher-Price toy that made animal sounds. The Farmer Says started out as a classic pull-string toy, but today’s version has a handle that lasts a little longer. We guess it’s for safety and durability reasons. And like many updates of the classic toys, this Farmer Says toy has more interactive features than the original, including quizzes and more! 13. Lite-Brite More than 40 years after the original “Star Wars” movie was released, its toy franchise remains one of the most popular in history. And with new movies scheduled for years to come, they look to stay relevant. But nothing takes the place in our hearts of the vintage collection of toys. These Little People had no moveable arms, legs or head, but they were in just about every kid’s room dating even before the 1980s! Probably the most popular play set for Fisher-Price Little People is the classic farm. We love how when the doors opened, a cow would moo! Fisher-Price now has an updated version of this iconic play set. I’ve spent a lot of time looking at the filters and when I look at the comments underneath, pretty much everyone’s wrong. Like, that poor person is going to go off and spend all this money [buying clothes in the wrong colours] thinking that’s my season.” I don’t think any of these colour theories … were made with non-white bodies in mind Lillian Ahenkan, AKA FlexmamiBefore there were Pillow Pets, there were Popples. These adorable, cuddly creatures “popped” out of their own little bag for some fun imaginative play and snuggle time. Today’s versions still have their own built-in carry case, but they also talk! And it can be really empowering to know, I can wear these colours and feel good about my appearance. Like, I’m not ugly – I’m just a summer.”

Over the years, designers have also used suits to explore gender identity.For Louis Vuitton's spring womenswear collection,Nicolas Ghesquièredrew on power dressing and androgynous 80s style for inspiration. Would-be doctors and nurses could practice their skills way before medical school with the complete Fisher-Price Medical Kit. It had a “working” stethoscope, thermometer, blood pressure cuff and even a syringe for a shot (ouch!). The original came in a hard briefcase carrier. Channel your inner Working Girl’s Tess McGill or Mugler woman with a powerful professional outfit. The 80s was the epitome of power dressing, with bold and sharp suiting silhouettes that defined the decade. This era was famous for its shoulder pads – it’s a great way to create an hourglass silhouette and create the illusion of a tiny waist. The surge of business casual for women during the decade paid homage to the suiting from the 40s, and such, a symbol of women’s rights and feminism. Some of the biggest influences in this era included Thierry Mugler, who reclassified what a strong woman would look like in the office – exaggerated lapels, slim-cut pencil skirts, and touches of lace blended hyper-masculine and feminine aesthetics into an instantly iconic style. JEM and the Holograms was a 1980s animated TV series about an orphan teen and her friends who become overnight musical superstars thanks to a magical computer left behind by her dad. It launched an entire fashion doll line that rivaled Barbie for a while.

An adorable red-haired doll that smelled like strawberries. Little girls couldn’t get enough of her and her sweet-smelling friends. In the 80s, people liked bright colours. And this generation is not nearly as comfortable with that,” Priest says. “Gen Z, they don’t want to stand out so much … Yes, it was kind of a dark and twisted turn on the insanely popular Cabbage Patch Kid dolls. Nevertheless, all the cool kids collected these cards and traded them on the playground. New collector sets are still made each year! The critical thinker and fashion personality Lillian Ahenkan, AKA Flexmami, has a different take on those confused comments under the TikTok videos. She notes that people’s initial reaction to figuring out their colours is often bewilderment. “And that’s the point! You really can’t tell.”
