I saw Ken Downing speak at a luncheon several years ago. I thought he was great! Love the bright colors!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ken-downing-talks-trends-at-neiman-marcus-fashion-show#post-1951286 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 10:09:31 +0000 Jenni NZ 1951286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes thank you Vicki and thanks for the thought Bijou! My maximal tastes have not fully disappeared and I still have the 2 80s jumpers on my shelf... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ken-downing-talks-trends-at-neiman-marcus-fashion-show#post-1951284 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 07:57:14 +0000 Bijou 1951284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such fabulous excessive 80's looks. I love #12, particularly on the model, she is a stunning woman and the yellow and boots are sublime on her. For me, the look that I would love to have in my wardrobe is #17. </p> <p>@JenniNZ, I say we may as well enjoy one of our favourite decades on rewind. I loved the 80's the first time around and will happily wear it again. Hopefully this time with some grown up attitude and style that was lacking the first time around. I cannot see me wearing big hair again!</p> <p>I am so happy that maximal is not disappearing because dressing like this is sure to make people smile.&nbsp;These are so much fun, thank you for this post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ken-downing-talks-trends-at-neiman-marcus-fashion-show#post-1951282 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 06:11:34 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1951282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much swoosh! So many flowy things. </p> <p>CindySmith, that brand is early 80s to me. Funny that when I read your comment, i recalled lace and tiny prints, couldn’t think of much connection to the show. Then I looked at your picture and wow—it is right there! Makes me wonder how else my memories are skewed, if I can be so off on such an iconic brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ken-downing-talks-trends-at-neiman-marcus-fashion-show#post-1951278 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 04:35:58 +0000 unfrumped 1951278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like it! I wonder what does that mean?<br /> Maybe because the outfits look polished overall to me eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ken-downing-talks-trends-at-neiman-marcus-fashion-show#post-1951269 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 03:32:18 +0000 cindysmith 1951269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure how I feel about seeing 80s fashion come around again LOL</p> <p>Oddly, and only somewhat related, I noticed someone cleaned out a closet that dated back to the 80s recently, because the local goodwill was filled with it. So. Many. Shoulder. Pads.</p> <p>Also? This gem. I had forgotten about Gunne Sax dresses :-O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ken-downing-talks-trends-at-neiman-marcus-fashion-show#post-1951264 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 03:00:25 +0000 Sheila 1951264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!

Maximal indeed. I’m going to indulge my fondness for pattern mixing and fancy myself on trend (I especially like the floral/plaid mix in #4). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ken-downing-talks-trends-at-neiman-marcus-fashion-show#post-1951228 Sat, 25 Aug 2018 21:53:10 +0000 Anonymous 1951228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those shoes! The really high heels should be illegal. I like the maximal fun and silver metallics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ken-downing-talks-trends-at-neiman-marcus-fashion-show#post-1951223 Sat, 25 Aug 2018 21:23:13 +0000 Joha 1951223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those shoes in No. 6! Oh heavens....<br /> Thank you for sharing. I love love love the styling. Most of it is too over the top for normal days but I get so many ideas in my head for fall styling with the stuff in my closet. And it also looks different from what you see from blogs or in the magazines. For a lack of a better word - I find more "sparkling" and energetic.<br /> And then those shoes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ken-downing-talks-trends-at-neiman-marcus-fashion-show#post-1951218 Sat, 25 Aug 2018 20:40:45 +0000 Jenni NZ 1951218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun to go! Incredibly 80s looking. Not sure I can carry 80s looks off in my 50s like I did in my 20s...I love the mini in 16 and I spy some "futuristic gloss" also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ken-downing-talks-trends-at-neiman-marcus-fashion-show#post-1951214 Sat, 25 Aug 2018 20:38:17 +0000 Carla 1951214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun!

It was fabulous and I adore this man. Think animal print, ‘80s, pantsuits, Devo horizontal glasses, sequins, updated shoulder pads, fingerless lace gloves, shawls pinned to one shoulder, etc. Have a look and enjoy this over-the-top maximal style season. Wish I could add a video of their final walk on the runway. </p>
