David Bailey’s Eighties is a stunning new photography book release from Taschen, capturing the essence of one of fashion’s most unforgettable decades. Bailey’s photographs have long stood as a symbol of the power and glamour of fashion, and in this book, he revisits the 1980s, offering a lens into a time when fashion was bold, extravagant, and full of energy. This book not only celebrates the fashion of the time but also the people who defined it.
The 1980s seem like a time that’s both distant and only yesterday, with its cultural imprint still resonating through today’s modern world. It’s hard to believe the decade began over 40 years ago, yet its echoes are undeniable, whether in the power suits, the glam-rock icons, or the continued love for big hair and extravagant silhouettes.
