I Love Your ShopStyle: Ode to Rio
As we know, the '80s are back in a major way. ShopStyle user Pemberly decided to give an ode to Duran Duran's 1982 album, Rio, by creating outfits inspired by it. Right on.
FABTV: Duran Duran, "Hungry Like the Wolf"
What I never realized, that I now love, about Duran Duran, is that they were so worldly with their video repertoire. We've seen them in Rio being silly, and here they adventuring through Sri Lanka — in their totally tubular '80s getups (how hot is the oversize white blazer, no shirt, and white headscarf?). I also have a fond memory of dancing with some sexy talent to this song at a Halloween party one year.

FABTV: Duran Duran "Rio"
"Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand"...Here's a silly video for you. No one can deny that Duran Duran took male fashion to another level. With their Havana suits, skinny ties, color mismatching and iconic hair cuts, Duran Duran was the poop back in the early 80s.
