The scrunchies and jean jackets of the 1980s and the plaid shirts and heavy boots that defined 1990s grunge, they’re all in here. Pick your favourite from these teenage fashion trends of the yesteryears, as each decade’s quintessential mainstream and counterculture looks have been painted into real-life by Annalisa.
Fashion History
Sixteen-year old Annalisa uses no one but herself as a model for the photo project, creating the series chiefly for her photography class. She has always been infatuated with counterculture and its effect on the society as well as mainstream culture. Mixing that fascination with her love for fashion, makeup and photography, Annalisa developed this ultimate series.
A Hippie From The 70s
Imitating everything from the hippies of the 80s to the flappers of the roaring 20s, Annalisa has portrayed herself as what she would look like if she travelled back in time to flaunt some of the most noted fashion statements of the century.
The Name
Annalisa named her project Counter Culture mostly owing to her choice to compare and contrast the fashions worn by the mainstream and counter-cultural groups of each decade. She pays extremely careful attention to detailing and makeup, and has an incredibly historic sense of fashion,
Photographs From Different Eras
Ensuring that the photos convey their message clearly, Annalisa even bothered to add vintage effects to them to make them look like they belong to their respective eras. The project gives audiences the chance to observe fashion evolution over many decades with just a few scrolls, and sort of even decide which era you belong to. The changes you observe will make you realise how much of diversity the world has seen in fashion since the beginning of time.
