Mannequins with lorg hair flowing down their backs swayed down the Fluorescent fad has bright future By Julie Liska Eitf? Reporter Picture it: A fluorescent pink sweat shirt with fluorescent yellow pants, fluorescent orange socks and oh yes a nice, bright pair of fluorescent pink and green earrings. Does this turn you cn, or turn your stomach? If it turns you on, chances are you're caught up in the "fluorescent fad" that's invading the nation. Although fluorescent items ere sel ling best among the younger age groups, it is not limited to them. All age groups are going for the eyeshocking colors. Part of tha reason for the success cf fluoresceins garb is because it is so different. Melanie Koza of Erauns at the Centrum attributes the fad to punk rock stars. "A lot of the fads come from the rock and roll singers not because they necessarily like them, but because they just like to be different," Kosa said. "The fiuorescents started with the Michael Jackson look, and slowly be came more dressy. Fluorescent clothes have had good success because they're fun and different," said Pain Borne meir, manager ofBrauns at Gateway. The fluorescent colors and styles of today are reminiscent cf the past. Bcr nemeier said "mothers often come in the store and s.ty 'Oh, I used to have something jusi like that. I wish I would have saved it.' But as for being exactly the S'-T.e, theste will always be different fabrications and colors." According to Riley Arneson, at the Brass Buckle, the shocking colors aren't as p opular vMh men.
