and the one thing i would not want to see with a high rise is a mini skirt, i think it does for some bad proportion play...

hmmm i like high rise pencil skirts though..im planning on making my own

it looks very very good with a pencil skirt, a whole different story with something that is very short and awkwardly flares out..

i can totally see the 90s thing coming back... like heroine shic... nirvana... but a little more cleaned up this time around

Candy ravers, the ones running around sucking on lollipops and pacifiers and hugging people.

i missed the overalls like crazy.

for a while they were only (barely) acceptable during pregnancies. save Berkeley and some parts of SF where they seem to hold on. rarely in Paris.

i practically lived in them for much of the nineties, esp at home. well, that's it<stomping> i'm bringing them out again and buying a few more.

advanced apologies to the world.

I can see (and kind of hope) it coming back, but as been pointed out, in terms of aesthetics, i.e. minimalism, rather than every fad that came and went.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the 90's NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Even worse than the 80's!!!

elschic111 · 08-08-2006

what about monochrome/monochromatic looks? i am not old enough to recall the 90s minimalism very well...can anybody point me to any pictures?

StellaMare · 08-08-2006

I have been back into the 90's since January.. time to catch up!

In a more subcultural aspect, this trend as an huge comeback, mostly in the hiphop culture. I can tell that New York is the motherland of this early 90's trend. High top fade, gold rope, acid wash denim, ghettoblasters..

^ I've been noticing this 90's hip-hop trend too in NY... I just hope high waisted acid wash jeans don't come back.

I have a friend who's into the whole 90's hiphop trend and it's getting pretty big in that scene at least, she's a hip hop dancer. Thick gold ropes, plaid shirts, jeans vests, old school glasses and so on, even the hair, she's getting a Miarah Carrey perm she says.

I see it in ordinary fashion too, just not as much and not as blatant.

oh boy, relaxed acid washes!

no thanks

90's hiphop is showing up more frequently in those copying the style of M.I.A. as she blatantly takes influence from the 90's with geometrics, metallics, and abundance of color. I personally adore her style.
