Sport Nouveau, Memphis, Voodoo, Aztec and Eighties were just some of the words and phrases bandied about at the Topshop press day. Unlike Miss Selfridge, Topshop can take inspiration from a bygone era and style it so it looks new for now. That's just what they've done for SS09 with tribal graphic T-shirts and leggings giving a gentle nod to Bodymap (Google them) but adding a noughties edge with silk boyfriend blazers, suede perforated peg pants and roll-up jeans. Last summer's Liberty sprigs reappear next season along with plaid flannel shirts - this time reworked with heavy studding- and '80s-wash denim (yuk). Shoes are as strong as ever...look, they've even done a Chloe 'inspired' boot!
I'm not really being grabbed by any of it - apart from the lovely little leather belt with book/thingy on it and the purple shoes are very cute.
I'm not a massive fan of most of those trends though so I'm gonna be a tough sell! I'll agree that most of it doesn't look dated/old.. The 80s whitewash denim is never a good idea though!
When I first saw the Chloe boots a couple of months back I was hooked. I wanted to have them so bad, as a matter of fact I still do. But they are simply unaffordable. The Topshop ones look all right, but they are nowhere near as beautiful as the the original. They look a bit cheap. However, I might still get them. :)
Lots of 80s mid-western references there, with a bit of early 90s rave thrown in for good measure, which I kind of did last time. I love it for the fun and the memories but think it is a sign I may be getting too old for TS.

Loving the black studded boots (however Chloe inspired they may be) at the bottom of the page, must keep a look out for those or something similar!
