Spring Fashion Special: The Return of Fifties Cool
The hottest trend in the upcoming Spring collections is Eisenhower-era style—with a youthful, modern twist.
February 2012 Issue
The 1950s were a major influence at the latest menswear shows, with cropped jeans, rolled sleeves, and penny loafers on runways from New York City to Paris. Michael Bastian drew inspiration from James Dean, Band of Outsiders delivered a choreographed homage to West Side Story, and the severe sunglasses and stark silhouettes in Kris Van Assche's collection evoked images of greasers and beatniks. These fun, easy pieces will let you add a dash of mid-century style to your wardrobe—without looking like you just walked off the Happy Days set.
