How fun is it going through your parents’ boxes of photographs to get simple amusement from shoulder pads and big hair? Starting this weekend you can take your love of laughing at bad ‘80s fashion to the streets with the exhibition of photos from Expo 88 hung along the South Bank Arbour.
More than thirty images taken during the festivities are set amongst the bougainvillea arches. See the human factors sculptures, aerial views of the exhibition grounds and all the weird, wonderful and woeful floats that were part of the day-time and night-time parades. Of course there are photos of the iconic platypus in a slouch hat too.
So the exhibition doesn’t exclusively feature bad fashion choices from the ‘80s, but you have to check out the Expo 88 uniforms; very fetching.
