Prince: History Repeats Parts I & II

I just noticed a bit of a trend in some of Prince's style...the old is coming back a bit at a time!



Receiving an award for purple rain in 1985



Again in 2005, Twenty years later.



Almost looks like a wife beater turtle neck...in 1992



And again in 2004



Heres that laid back, t-shirt look in 1990



And again in 2004


This is my favorite...make a mistake once, no big deal. just learn from it, Prince wanted to see if it worked the second time...




A poster from 1978, and if youve seen the alternate version of I wanna Be Your Lover, you know this look doesnt work in blue either.



And he did it again in 1990...12 years later!



Here, during the lovesexy tour, with a polka dot theme in 1988



and again in 2004.



This one isnt really a fashion repeat, but it is Prince showing off his toys in 1985, I
think...



and again in 2000.



Heres the original result of a dirty mind.



Here it is again in 1988, this time trading the hankercheif for really long gloves



Heres a shot from When doves cry, Black Ruffles...1984



Givin it another shot 12 years later in 1995



Heres Prince with a wider mustache/soulpatch than what we usually see in 1980,



Heres that look again in 2004.



Heres Prince in a commercial from 1992,



Isnt it weird how much Tora Tora looked and sounded like Prince three years later in 1995??

Pretty good thread. Nice work.

One thing though-I'm pretty sure that last pic is actually Mayte.

You know, if I had to talk about a period of time I miss in Prince's career, it would be 92-96, when he was playing with the gun mic and gettin' kinda crazy. He was dealing with a lot of stuff, but he was expressing himself in a very unique way. The "Mama Said Knock You Out" pic of him up there is a good example.

I noticed the polka dots @ the musicology concert--

And the mustache--

I'm just waiting for the tornado do to resurge.
