"  This year marks American ELLE&amp;#039;s quarter-century birthday.  Though its first monthly issue didn&amp;#039;t hit newsstands until September 1985, there were prior to that four bi-annual issues\u2014beginning with the Fall/Winter &amp;#039;83 special issue born out of a French ELLE/Bloomingdale&amp;#039;s collaboration\u2014so I figured we might as well start celebrating now. After all, reaching a silver anniversary these days is pretty rare. Therefore, each month this year, I&amp;#039;ll assemble some nostalgic fashion and celebrity photos from that particular time 25 years ago\u2014you know, to get you in the look at far we&amp;#039;ve come mood. First up is January 1985, the month when Axel Foley and gang sat atop the box office for another four weeks, President Reagan was sworn in for his second term, &amp;quot;We Are the World&amp;quot; brought everyone from Willie Nelson to Dan Aykroyd to five of the Jackson siblings together in famine-fighting song, and Amadeus and Romancing the Stone took top dramatic and comedic honors, respectively, at the Golden Globe Awards. Hair was huge, music was all synthesizer, and the fashion was very, very `80s...minus the irony. Enjoy. And Happy 25th, ELLE!
