Lambada fashion was launched by a dance craze that was launched
by a film, that was launched by a song, that was launched by a fashion.
Confused?
Anyway, in the summer of 1989, women confident of their legs pulled
on tiny ra-ra style skirts to dance the Lambada with men in tight
Chino pants and garish open shirts.
Lambada fashion was a night-time antidote to the power suits worn
during the day, in the same way throwing up is an antidote to a
hangover. The two were visually similar too.
