Michael jackson! Madonna! princeThese A-list stars helped shape '80s music culture and make the decade amazing. From chart-topping singles to the unique, sharp fashion sense that defined trends to come, the '80s was a decade full of fun music, and most importantly, fashion. Whether on fashion's biggest runways or the streets, the decade was known for voluminous looks (forerunners of today's body-con trend) and amazingly colorful pieces that brought an instant smile to anyone's face.
