Always loved Sade and her style. Classic, elegant and simplistic. Not to mention her music.

[northwoodfalls]

Timeless. She would look just as at home in the 60’s as she would now. ❤

You won me over with this one. Sade is my style icon!

She's a Capricorn, so was Carolyn Basset, another 90's style icon. I'm a Capricorn and I adore both of these women for their style. Simple elegance and naturalness.
Catherine princess of Wales is another Capricorn who just has a natural beauty and grace about her although she doesn't always do simplistic.
The simplicity of Sade allows her to look fresh in many eras.

hi I was at St Martins Art College at the same time as Sade.I remember she was designing mens wear tailored pieces ....i bought from her a pair of beautiful Klein blue mens gloves in butter soft leather ....i wore them to a trip to Paris ....circa 1982 ...they were too big for me but loved was before Sade started her amazing songwriting /music career)

Thank you for doing Sade. You did not disappoint! I grew up during her reign and there are photos of her in this video that I’ve never seen. It was such a treat.❤❤❤❤

As a Sade lover and fashion major in the late 80s your video grabbed me. Very well done.

I’m showing my age but she was the epitome of 80’s- 90’s for me! Thank you for this Mary!

Great video. Yes to your video idea for the topic of minimalistic eighties style. I know we all now like to think that the eighties was a too colorful, over the top, cheesy Dallas/Dynasty fest, but there was another side too. I was a teen in the eighties and minimalism as you correctly say, was a thing too. Armani was a huge influence to this style during the eighties, Lauren Hutton in American Gi golo movie. Jil Sander the German designer too. Brands like Esprit, Mexx (formerly Emanualle and Moustache), Sisley. But also during the early eighties you had the punk movement, from the UK, young kids who were fed up with the status quo, Vivien Westwood comes to mind and Blondie.

Great video, Mary. Thank you. In the decade of excess, Sade stood out. As a teenager in the ‘80s, I was guilty 🙋🏽‍♀️ of trying to emulate Madonna. At some point it hit me that “my style” was so loud that it really wasn’t saying anything. By the late ‘80s my uniform was black and white with a pop of red and red lip 💄 . It never occurred to me to thank Sade for this. She was always so beautiful and soulful, but above all calming, confident and yes, minimalist.

Thank You for doing a Sade style piece- She deserves it!

Gold hoops and red lips are a classic combo I've always loved. Love simple hair also. Please do a video on Vanity's (Denise Matthews) style!

Thank you for discussing …a true style icon and an enigma

[DonaLeopoldina-drso]

Hello Mary I am going to listen to her music. My look has been always extremely simple.

[nduballen]

Thank you for highlighting Sade! She's been my personal style icon since the 80's. She's absolutely flawless! Btw, I love your channel!
