Macy's Gets Totally '80s for Glamorama's 10th Anniversary

Now in its 10th year, Macy's Glamorama (formerly a Marshall Field's tradition) took place on Friday night. As the lights dimmed in the Chicago Theatre at the start of the evening's fashion show, a theme became apparent: From a set backed with Pac-Man graphics to a soundtrack peppered with hits from Prince, George Michael, and Michael Jackson, an '80s influence was demonstrably at work.

Cyndi Lauper and MC Hammer headlined this year's show, treating the audience of 3,000 to live renditions of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "U Can't Touch This"—respectively, of course—as models pranced out in designs from the likes of Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, and Tibi. Event sponsors also found a presence in the spectacle, with video logos and a full-length Chevy commercial appearing on a scrim that covered the stage before the show. During the show, an actual Chevy Corvette (painted an era-appropriate shade of teal) descended onto the stage in a cloud of smoke, becoming a prop in one of the scenes. MORE >>
