The 90s Best Fashion Decade Ever??
I always love the fashion of the 90s so when the wonderful, beautiful, amazing Nabs told me about a 90s fashion event…. It was an immediate TP! When the '90s began, the "supermodel" was born. Goddesses like Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, and Linda Evangelista, who famously said that she didn't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day, ruled the runways and captivated the world with their otherworldly good looks. The iconic photographs that Peter Lindbergh shot of the supers in the early '90s are still widely used as editorial inspiration, and George Michael's "Freedom '90" video, which features many of the women, is, in my humble opinion, still one of the greatest music videos ever made.
Nobody captured the fashion of the 90s like Madonna. Even by today’s standards one of her most memorable (and most copied) signature looks was the cone bra that Jean Paul Gautier designed for her Blond Ambition Tour in 1990.
Beverley Hills 90210 had a huge influence on me at that time. Girls across the western world couldn't wait to try out the looks they saw on the '90s drama, which featured a group of stylish rich kids from Southern California who were basically living the teen dream. From Brenda's bangs and floral babydoll dresses to Donna's scrunchies and eccentric ensembles, fans would tune in to find—and subsequently copy—the biggest trends at Beverly Hills High.
If Madonna, Shannen Doherty and Tiffani Thiessen were the fashion icons of the prim and proper, Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain were the antithesis. The king and queen of Seattle grunge, Kurt and Courtney are arguably the most influential couple in 1990s fashion. The Hole frontwoman was known for her torn, sheer slips, dark makeup, and babydoll dresses, and is credited for popularising the "kinderwhore" look that had a moment in the early '90s. Similarly, the Nirvana singer arguably started the entire grunge trend, with his mismatched, oversized outfits and shaggy mop of hair.
Vibrant streetwear was an early '90s style staple. Will Smith became a bona fide trendsetter on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air with his colorful tracksuits, Zubaz pants, and impressive collection of Jordans. Hip-hop group TLC followed suit, and often performed in oversized t-shirts and men’s' shorts, complete with cartoonish accessories in crazy colors.
In the early '90s, a waifish girl from London came into all of our lives and changed the fashion world forever. The antithesis of the supermodels that ran the beginning of the decade, Kate Moss, the teenaged model ushered in the era of "heroin chic," which celebrated androgyny and incredibly slim figures. One of Moss' first campaigns was for Calvin Klein, in which she snuggled up with Marky Mark in nothing but her skivvies. (You know you want to google it!!)
I could go on however, judging by the success of the 90’s throwback event, it will be back and I need to keep something for that moment 😊
