Kodachrome Slides of a Girl in a Tied Blouse and Red Shorts in 1984

Fashion of the 1980s was characterized by a rejection of 1970s fashion. Punk fashion began as a reaction against both the hippie movement of the past decades and the materialist values of the current decade. The first half of the decade was relatively tame in comparison to the second half, which was when apparel became very bright and vivid in appearance.

Hair in the 1980s was typically big, curly, bouffant and heavily styled. Women in the 1980s wore bright, heavy makeup. Everyday fashion in the 1980s consisted of light-colored lips, dark and thick eyelashes, and pink or red rouge (otherwise known as blush).

Here is a series of Kodachrome slides from Steven Martin that show beautiful portraits of a girl wearing a tied blouse and red shorts taken during a photoshoot in April 1984.
