Episode 76: The ‘80s: New Wave Gets Fashionable
Video may have killed the radio star, but it poured gasoline on the spark of New Wave. As MTV exploded, youth culture moved to center stage and companies making wearables were more than happy to cater to changing tastes. In this episode we focus on Vans and Swatch, a couple of iconic fashion accessories found on the wrists and feet of Gen X.
As we wrap-up our season on New Wave, let us know if you feel there's something we missed. We just might circle back down the road.
