The prompt behind this image
Copy the exact prompt behind 1988 Mall Style, or open it in the studio and make it yours.
Transform this photo into a realistic portrait of a trendy young adult in 1988. Keep my facial features exactly the same. Dress me in an oversized denim jacket, graphic T-shirt, high-waisted jeans, white sneakers, and retro sunglasses. Style my hair in an authentic 1980s Mohawk look. Place me outside a busy shopping mall with neon signs, a cassette player, movie posters, arcade machines, and a few parked Ambassador and Contessa cars in the background. Add warm sunset lighting, faded colors, creases, and a little film grain to make it look like a genuine photograph from 1988.

| If the result… | Why | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The result drifts from the preview | Too many fields changed at once. | Reuse 1988 Mall Style as-is first, then change one group — subject, light, or setting. |
| The crop feels wrong | The prompt is framed for 9:16. | Set the image ratio to 9:16 before generating. |
| The model over-stylizes the scene | The prose prompt leaves finish and camera underspecified. | Add one camera or lighting sentence and stay on Openai/gpt Image 2.5/flare. |
