Pink became very fashionable again in the 1980s. Although some have interpreted the revival of pink as part of a “backlash” against women, others perceive it in terms of third generation feminism, with young women rejecting the idea that they had to look like imitation men. Certainly, a bright pink, skirted suit seems to convey the image of a powerful woman.
