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.
