For those of us who are now in our 30s, the 1990s was probably the best decade. Indeed, earlier this year, a YouGov poll asked 2,000 American adults which decades had the best music, economy, and so on. Unsurprisingly, many viewed the ’90s as the best time for fashion, radio programming, and even the economy. Surely, their answers might’ve been painted with rosy nostalgia glasses, but there’s no denying the ’90s had style. Nineties Anxiety is an Instagram page that showcases the cool side of the ’90s, so here are some more posts to feed your nostalgia-hungry hearts, Pandas! As Lilah Ramzi writes for Vogue, the ’90s were the decade models became far more famous than the clothes. Supermodels became icons; people wanted to know where and how they lived, who they were dating, and what they were like. If before, models were a blank canvas, almost mannequins for the clothes they modeled, this decade wanted models with passion, character, and personalities. By the second half of the decade, many new young names surfaced. Designer Karl Lagerfeld described them as “very young, very much like children—what’s referred to like an elf. There is a kind of vulnerability about them. They need protection…” These models were Kate Moss, Amber Valetta, Stella Tennant, Shalom Harlow, and Kirsty Hume.
These models were less about the perfect skin and hair and more about dark circles under their eyes, and, according to Ramzi, “possessing bird-like hollow bones.” On the one hand, the effortless, laid-back style of the ’90s allowed men to be nonchalant with their style choices. On the other hand, they could also partake in the cyber-fashion trend with frosted blond tips and metallic goggle-like sunglasses. Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
