This New Yorker cover from January 9, 1989, illustrated by Barbara Westman, depicts winter sportswear typical of late 1980s fashion. The figures wear brightly colored ski clothing, oversized jackets, patterned leggings, gloves, and round sunglasses, reflecting the decade’s emphasis on bold color combinations and sporty casualwear.
