It’s a high school documentary made in 1984, asking a bunch of students to define ‘what fashion means to them’.

and (possibly best of all):
“The style I like is kind of ska and punk. Ska is from England. It’s kind of like Duran Duran. Sort of. But they’re kind of mediocre to this. They’re not as intense.”
This video is an historical document of significant importance. It’s addition to Youtube has made this a better day for all mankind:
Check out some of those outfits:
