Viva Forever: Setting trends since 1996 – The Spice Girls

Probably the highlight for most people watching the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics was the reunion of the biggest girl band on the planet. Each one of them looked equally as fabulous as the next, encompassing their on stage alter egos to perfection. From left to right:
Victoria Beckham pouted her way through their set and represented British fashion in a stunning black Giles Deacon gown. Geri Halliwell sported a typically loud red Suzanne Neville mini, Union Jack included. Emma Bunton’s sophisticated Maggie Cooke body con looked amazing on her, definitely a more grown up Baby Spice. Mel C’s look is actually my favourite and, most shockingly, JD Sports! Then Scary Spice herself, Mel B, bedazzled the crowd in an OTT Zuhair Murad jumpsuit.

After really impressing the fashion crowd at the ceremony it’s funny to see just how much their styles have evolved over the years. It’s very easy to write off their fashion from the 90’s as a hot mess but look a little closer and I’m sure you’ll find some current trends (that you may already be wearing) amongst the garish 90’s glare.
Crop tops under the disguise of ‘bralets’, the infamous platform shoes are now ‘flatforms/creepers’ and didn’t I spot form Ms Cole wearing some similar loud sports wear in her last video? 
As the saying goes, ‘what goes around, comes around’…and if the Spice Girls are sporting it? Even better!

Keep in wishing…
