The 1985 film 'Desperately Seeking Susan', starring then newbie super star Madonna centered around an unfulfilled housewife who meets free spirited Susan (Madonna) by accident when she began answering her personal ads in a New York tabloid. She then becomes fascinated with her, gets amnesia & begins thinking that she actually is her. Weak story line & weird, I know! Although the plot left much to be desired, the soundtrack featuring Madonna's hits like 'Get Into The Groove' & 'Like A Virgin' as well as the fashions in this film that inspired a generation!
This movie is all about the popular clothing styles that surfaced in the 80's and Madonna was the first pop icon to make under wear as outer wear in public acceptable with the rise of the boustierre as well as bras paired with see through mesh tops as a bold fashion forward statement!
Hard to believe that was twenty six years ago and that to this day, this style is still in circulation, perhaps in a more modestly muted way, but still out there nonetheless!
Pop Icon Lady Gaga's style has definitely been instrumental in reinspiring this vintage style, but on a whole other level, as her no holds barred over the top fashion taste, or lack there of rather, has one upped Madonna in regards to shock value!
I personally prefer the less brash 80's version (i.e. Madonna's style) of under wear as outer wear because even she attempted to leave a bit to the imagination! Truth is, everyone has the right to 'bare arms' so to speak but the question remains...is less always best?

Since 2004, pop rock chic Gwen Stefani has been designing clothes to suit herself and not the general public under the designer name label 'L.A.M.B.' which stands for 'Love Angel Music Baby'. She fashions her pieces after her own unique look and personality and has no regard for what the general population thinks about them as she has been quoted for sayings..."Fashion is not something you should take as super deep, it should just be an expression of yourself, it's just clothes, it's just fun"...
She started her band 'No Doubt' when she was 17 and shortly thereafter had a desire to create her own styles because after all, music and fashion usually go hand in hand. She didn't know how to sew but used a glue gun and velcro in an attempt to make things work.
She admits she has no technical qualifications to design clothes and has no problem confessing that she will never be Vivienne Westwood. Her desire to design simply comes from having a knack or a vibe for what seems right at the time she's creating and her lack of a 'theme' for her Fall designs seen here at Fashion Week 2011 makes that statement more than obvious.
In an interview with CNN Entertainment, Gwen did say that the honest reason behind her starting her L.A.M.B. fashion line, close to a decade ago was due in part to the realization that she didn't know if her music career would survive in terms of longevity and she knew she wanted to continue pursuing her creativity in one way or another...
