The fabulous era of 1950s is associated with rock and roll music, Elvis Presley and polka dotted prom dresses.
Getting nostalgic by wearing retro dresses and shoes and using other retro products has a charm of its own. And the best thing about Fashion Trends is that they make a comeback over time.
THIS SEASON everything old is new again. Vintage and retro style from 1950s through 1980s are HOT.
The Inspiration - Katy Perry
Celebs are donning retro-styled clothes and accessories, putting retro-inspired makeup and doing hair in a retro style. One of the greatest fan of retro chic is Katy Perry. The 24 year singer simply loves retro, her make up, clothes and posture, everything reminds us of old times with a modern twist.
