Sprouse’s clothes were the perfect foil for their time – their closest contemporaries were the clothes created by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren. Incidentally, Sprouse originally wanted Haring to design his graffiti prints, but the artist was under contract to Westwood and McLaren’s ‘World’s End’. (Haring created the graphics for the Winter 1983 ‘Witches’ collection.) Arguing that Westwood and McLaren were a mirror to Sprouse is easy, because it’s accurate – he even had his own version of the Sex Pistols: Debbie Harry, who he dressed in a one-shouldered dress printed with television static for her band Blondie’s Heart of Glass video in 1978, and garnered immediate international recognition. While Westwood and McLaren were impaling the Queen on safety pins and dressing young Londoners as pirates and savages, Sprouse was lifting street graffiti and printing it onto Italian Agnona cashmere. Both approaches were quintessentially punk. It’s that attitude – of questioning establishment values, of rebellion, of innovations – that is Sprouse’s strongest legacy. And exactly what designers should, and hopefully will, be mimicking today. ::::\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(The Great American Fashion Designer Who Never Quite Was, Alexander Fury for AnOthermag.com)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephen Sprouse's women’s purple and yellow, cotton skirt. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcellent condition, size M (6 - 8). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetailed measurements:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWaist - 28 inches\u003cbr\u003eLength - 19.5 inches\u003cbr\u003eHip - 39.5 inches\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"amy-scott-s-freakers-ball-vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42336062341273,"sku":"LDKCFJ","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0118\/0132\/9723\/products\/product-image__rtxgAx-compressed.png?v=1654737452","url":"https:\/\/shopthrilling.mom\/products\/80s-1988-iconic-bullet-skirt-by-stephen-sprouse","provider":"THRILLING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
