A decade in the making, visionary collector Jorge Bascuñán’s The 80s unveils one of the world’s largest and most rarefied collections of 1980s fashion clothing and accessories in this 500-page volume alongside firsthand memories from the designers, stars, and rebels who revolutionized that era.

The 80s is the ultimate fashion bible that celebrates a decade when music, art, and style collided in a frenzy of glamour, rebellion, and daring experimentation. Dynamic photo collages showcase the museum’s vintage evening dresses, couture pieces, streetwear, menswear, jewelry, and shoes, alongside exclusive new interviews with the icons who shaped the era—Jean Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Brooke Shields, Cindy Crawford, John Galliano, Molly Ringwald, Naomi Campbell, Jane Fonda, Belinda Carlisle, Christian Lacroix, and many more.

From Comme des Garçons’ radical deconstructed jackets to Fiorucci’s graphic explosions, and Azzedine Alaïa’s body-conscious dresses to luxe exuberant theatrical designs of Thierry Mugler and Vivienne Westwood, this tome captures the full spectrum of a decade defined by excess and unrivaled creativity.

Brimming with priceless museum garments from Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” music video dress, to HRH Princess Diana’s evening gowns, and Billy Idol’s leather studded vests, to couture creations featured on the covers of Vogue, Elle, and L’Officiel, this highly collectible volume is part fashion anthology, part pop-culture odyssey and an absolute must-have for fashion lovers, collectors, and anyone fascinated by pop culture.
