Factoria Mervyns Spring Fashion March 1987

I have several other photos posted thanks to my Dad's photography business (click the lable Richard E. Hawes Studios). These are from the Factoria Mall Mervyn's Grand Opening on March 6, 1987. I'll have more photos to post of this event so "stay tuned".

Spring Fashions dateline  . . . March 1987. Colors were both pastel or bright - fun patterns also made a statement. Big shoulders for the ladies. Bold colors and wild patterns for the guys. These shots were taken before the doors opened.

Yo Mickey!
