Certain Things Are Likely

Through conversation about the big emotions and resulting big looks of the 80’s, photographer Barrett Sweger and his team settled on the eclectic era as inspiration for this beauty story. 
“That era had such strong personalities, subcultures and experimentation in fashion and music. It was an era that was all about bold colors, graphic shapes and a juxtaposition of both matte and glossy textures. We were particularly inspired by Annie Lennox, Sade, and the women in Robert Palmer’s “Simply Irresistible” video.

“There’s a quiet storm

and it never felt like this before

There’s a quiet storm

that is you

There’s a quiet storm

and it never felt this hot before

Giving me something that’s taboo”

Sade, “The Sweetest Taboo”, 1985

“I want to breathe in the open wind

I want to kiss like lovers do

Want to dive into your ocean

Is it raining with you?”

Eurythmics, “Here Comes the Rain Again”, 1983

“That kind of love is mythical

She’s anything but typical

She’s a craze you’d endorse, she’s a powerful force

You’re obliged to conform when there’s no other course”

Robert Palmer, “Simply Irresistible” 1988
