Just when you thought shoulder pads and leggings had gone the way of those old Madonna LPs, the decade of greed roars back into fashion. For fall, designers are layering on leggings, wide belts and baggy sweaters. "Leggings give everything a sleek, modern look," says Ken Downing, fashion director of Neiman Marcus. But are you ready to revive the Flashdance look? "It's easy to romanticize a time when excess was a part of everyday life," says designer Cynthia Rowley.

Says Merv Griffin, the former talk-show host and now billionaire talk- and game-show mogul: Time was, "you hired an M.C. who every mother-in-law would love." But in the reality-TV era, talk and game shows allow, if not require, more edge. We've gone from Bill Cullen's genial cheerleading to Gordon Ramsay's four-letter culinary arias on Hell...
