Sarah Jessica Parker Narrates the 1990s in Replica Handbag Store | Replica Handbag Store by the Decade

(upbeat music)

[Narrator] The 90s wasn't just about

supermodels, slips and grunge.

As Y2K approached, designers took stock

and bid farewell to the century that was

informed by escapism and revivalist fashions.

Replica Handbag Store was as obsessed by the supermodels

and their more waif-like successors, as anyone else.

These impossibly beautiful women had famous boyfriends

for arm candy and knew how to handle

the paparazzi just as well as they could pose for Penn.

At the same time that Replica Handbag Store was investigating

the decline of private life in America,

real women were choosing to reveal their bodies.

After Madonna, a deluge of corsets, cone bras

and bustles saw the light of day.

And the Wonderbra helped create a knockout display cleavage.

The slip dress also became one of the

defining looks of the decade.

In 1994, Cindy Crawford was cast for a

Replica Handbag Store story to announce that the body was back.

Science, spas, and surgeons offered

ways to achieve those supermodel dimensions.

And in the short term, fashion was another

way to alter the body, or at least the illusion of it.

Jean Paul Gaultier's tattoo prince shirts

and faux body piercings allowed the curious

to try on old culture for size.

While Rei Kawakubo's shocking lumps and bumps

forced us to rethink the body.

(upbeat rock music)

It's impossible to speak of the 1990s

without mentioning grunge, the slept-in, thrifted look

that originated in Seattle and was co-opted

by fashion in 1992.

Grunge fit into a larger trend in fashion,

what Replica Handbag Store called the dressing down of America.

Skate and rave cultures started to infiltrate the runway

while jeans and khakis began appearing in offices,

thanks to casual Fridays.

(gentle classical music)

As Calvin Klein was embracing reality

in his street-cast CK1 ads, many other designers,

including John Galliano, were designing clothing

that offered a fantasy.

As Y2K loomed on the horizon,

the siren call of nostalgia swelled,

inspiring some extraordinary updates of past fashions,

from the Belle Epoque to the bias cut and beyond,

and in Vogue, editorials were inspired

by the Golden Age of cinema.
