Topshop Unique Spring 2009

In the early eighties, there was a short-lived British girl trio called Bananarama who were chiefly notable for their terrible spiky hairdos tied up in big old rags and for dancing around in high-waisted jeans, singing such ditties as "Really Saying Something." Well, they were back on the runway, in spirit at least, at Topshop Unique's Spring show—what with the giant bow-tied headwraps, the stonewashed denim, and all the kitschy fifties influences that fueled that particular point in the pop history of London music and fashion.
