Juke-Box Hits - Dolly September 1980

September 1980
Model Kate McGurgan

Hope you enjoy this photo spread from this September 1980 issue of Dolly.  It's been a while since I've posted a 1980 issue, and it's because many of the fashion editorials from this year feature blurry Picnic At Hanging Rock kind of spreads which bore me a little bit.  But this one is fabulously full of colour and fun!  I especially like the addition of the latest records out at the time including Mi-Sex and Michael Jackson among others.

  1. Ahh I had those hot pink Smith's jeans. I remember taking them on a summer holiday to Sydney with my family and thinking I was so cool. If I ever find the photos, I'll scan them to share. :)

    1. Kate Mcgurgan went to my school although she had left by the time I was in year 7. It was all very exciting to have that connection. All the cool year 12 girls wore the floral Brian Rochford jeans in 1980. That photo spread is really typical of what girls were wearing then.

    2. How cool, I wonder if the floral Brian Rochford jean explosion happened before or after this Dolly spread? I know that whenever I saw something I liked in Dolly, I would rush out to buy it the very next day.

    3. I think it was after because the year 12 girls wore them to their HSC exams when they didn't have to wear their school uniforms and that would have been in October 1980. Those year 12s so on trend....
