Title: Fashion and Trends of the 90


1
Fashion and Trends of the 90s
  • By Taylor Speier

2
Fashion Influencers
  • Even when the style was grungy and baggy Claudia
    Schiffer and Cindy Crawford set the standard of
    beauty.
  • Mia Hamm Gabrielle Reece inspired designers to
    create work out clothes as a day wear.
  • Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez were also big
    influencers in the 90s.

3
Silhouettes
  • Denim was all the rage throughout the
    '90s, but not in the way you think. The
    bigger and more colorful the jeans, the cooler
    they were. Baggy jeans, made famous by hip hop
    stars.
  • Also popular were overalls, which could be worn
    in two ways - hooking one strap and letting the
    other hang open, or unhooking both straps and
    wearing a belt to keep the overalls from falling
    off.

Continued.
  • Peasant blouses, tunics, and loose fitting pants
    were being made in prints from East India to West
    India and all points in between. Eventually,
    designers rediscovered classically romantic print
    skirts and dresses
  • Gradually, bell-bottoms and straight legs became
    popular and boot-cut pants and jeans were here
    to stay.
  • Baby Doll Dresses

5
Accessories etc.
  • The '90s shoe could be described in one word -
    chunky.
  • Kids stepped out in style with Doc Martens, Mary
    Janes or platform sneakers, which elevated you to
    new heights with layers of rubber sole.
  • Docs, which are like combat boots, were
    definitely the most popular shoes. All kids,
    whether they were into hip hop or grunge, wore
    them to completets

Continued.
  • Legs were further elongated and flattered by the
    revival of platform wedge shoes and sandals of
    all heights and styles. Footwear changed with the
    economy as women could now afford luxury brands
    like Manolo Blahnik and Salvatore Ferragamo and
    walking shoes that were chic and cute.

7
Hairstyles
  • Hairstyles in the 1980s were mostly large. The
    decade began with a continuance of the Purdey
    cult hair cut.
  • Everyone had big hair even those people with
    short hair.   But as always there were variations
    and working women opted for styles which could be
    easily blow dried and tonged with a cordless or
    electric styling brush. 
  • Carmen style heated rollers and hair rollers
    disappeared from most dressing tables as blow
    drying plus finger shaping of strands with gel
    firmly established itself as the favorite way to
    finish hair for the majority of women.

8
Designers
  • In the late 20th century no other country
    marketed fashion like the Americans. The best
    known designers in America and known by all, are
    Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and
    Ralph Lauren.
  • Calvin Klein uses advertising that highlights
    sexuality enough to shock a supposedly
    unshockable society. Erotic advertising is used
    to promote his diffusion lines from perfume and
    fashion to home furnishings. Ralph Lauren has
    been the person of good taste in classic good
    looking clothes and a covetable stylish home
    range.
  • By contrast Hilfiger's clothes are aimed at the
    mass youth market with an easily recognizable
    predictable casual format of red, navy and white
    basics covered in logos for street wear.

9
Textiles Used
  • Linen, silk, cashmere, devore velvets, Lycra,
    fleece, superior quality microfiber polyesters
    and Sympatex for outdoor weather were the main
    fabrics of the 90s.

10
Movie Representatives
  • If you needed fashion advice, you
    could've turned Cher, the fashion
    expert in Clueless (it was one of the most
    popular teen comedies in the '90s). The
    schoolgirl look of baby doll dresses with puffed
    sleeves and thigh-high stockings became popular
    because of this movie. Also popular were slip
    dresses worn over T-shirts.

11
Role Of Women
  • Women in our society have played many roles.
    During this period from the decades of the 1950s
    through the 1990s, women started getting their
    own jobs and got better schooling. Today, women
    have shown that their standards are for
    excellence in both work and home. Educational
    background is more important than sex appeal.

12
History
  • In 1992, as Clinton took office alongside the
    most racially diverse cabinet in American
    history, fashion exploded with clothes,
    hairstyles, accessories, and even makeup that
    celebrated all cultures and combinations thereof.

13
Clothing Parallels
  • Throughout the years the styles and trends have
    changed dramatically. Some things have followed
    with whats new, but others have thankfully been
    lost. In the 90s leggings and straight leg jeans
    were very popular and in todays fashion they
    are coming back.
