I like retro but I think it's overused. It would be nice to have some new designs that were different from the past creations. The more NEW creations we come up with the fewer CHOICES we have in the NEW creations. I hope that makes sense. I mean the wings on the fenders of my parents Olds back when I was a kid - ANY wings now no matter what shape will be considered more retro than new. So if they want to be new what do they choose? Our inventions aren't so much clothes and cars now but more in the electronic industry.
I'd love to see a few new clothing ideas instead of this crap that walks down the runway. Layers of material that look like they were just tacked together by my daughter and hanging off some of the more pertenant parts that aren't usually made that public. I'd like to see some simple styles with a few little nuances that are NEW for once.
That said I think a lot of us look back at our childhood and may remember some of the 70's and 80's things (for me anyway) that we enjoyed. I used to love listening to the music that was "retro" then. There was one radio station that played "Oldies" those oldies being the 30's, 40's, and 50's. Anyone remember the song Lamlighter? My fav.
