Homecoming Queen
We’re not even pretending to be embarrassed by the current line-up of 80’s revivals. Crop-top? Festival Essential. Acid wash jacket? Rock on. Tickets for Michael Jackson’s last stand? We’re practising the moonwalk already. Even our ponytails are finding themselves slightly off-centre.
But if there’s one throwback we just can’t get enough of, it’s Pam Hogg. Since the original Blitz Kid of ‘80s clubland stormed back into our lives at February’s Fashion Week, we can’t stop dreaming about acid-bright lycra catsuits, shiny spandex leggings, and PVC mini-dresses. We’ve had our office chairs waxed down and the air-conditioning hiked up in preparation.
Because starting tomorrow, Pam’s popping up at her old Newburgh haunt with specially made Hogg Couture, I-con tshirts, plates, mugs and signed copies of the Hoggdoll’s latest CD.
If it was acceptable in the ‘80s…
Pam Hogg opens tomorrow for one month at 9 Newburgh Street, W1F.
