Fall runway fashion this year was all about the ‘80s. From New York to Paris, models wore gold lamé, crop tops and shoulder pads. With these old-school trends in mind, we styled Orange County School of the Arts acting students in back-to-school garb inspired by the late John Hughes’ movie, “The Breakfast Club.”
Tim Appelo, a film critic for TheWrap.com, weighed in on why the movie still resonates. “The movie took teens’ yearnings seriously, and teen yearning is like a standing wave — it never ends. The film anticipates the talky dramas of today, the hypersensitive focus on the ordinary, furtive glances, real life as it’s lived moment to moment.”
These local teens perfectly embodied the film’s memorable characters.
