I have no idea why but recently I've been inspired and have this obsession over the 90s. I don't actually remember the 90s as much as I wish I would. Living 6 years of my life in the 90s only rendered me a memory of me watching Barney and Teletubbies (and I actually thought they were nice then, but now I think that they are just jobs for pedophiles and they creep me out), crying every time whenever I had to attend nursery and eating my very first french fry.
These 90s Versace ads are so amazing- the original Supermodels. They remind me so much about the posters and calendars that every boy/teenager/men had in their room in the past, along with Farah Fawcett's calendar and Baywatch photos.
Ah....The King (The Giant) and his royal maidens (and his fairies).

This is better than photoshop.
Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 94
The thing I like about me just being 15/16, is that i've no idea what happened before in the fashion world in the 60s or 40s or 80s. When designers reference their designs to some point in time, and people start to say "Oh, I thought this show was so 40s and a little bit of the 50s", truthfully I have no idea what're they talking about. The Fall'09 Alexander McQueen show was definitely one of the best shows of that season. Before I even understood the inspiration and ideas behind the McQueen show, I thought that the show was a huge feast for the eyes and was just out of this world insane. Then I started to understand and realise that Alexander was mocking fashion, specifically Dior's New Look. Instantly, the whole show just shot right past Einstein's IQ and reached the intensity level and the geniosity of the Comme des Garcons Fall 09 collection. Until today, I never knew that McQueen also recycled fabric and prints from his '94 show. It hit me hard, the idea of recycling was also an inspiration for his Fall show. How could I've not thought of that? (The recycled cans as headpieces, the recycled set, wasn't it a little tad too obvious). I guess that's the exciting part of fashion, you just never ever know when you would pick up more references. The show just keeps on getting better.

This pleated dress with the print and those colours...... are just mindblowing.
Alexander McQueen Spring Summer '99
This is just sick.. beyond sick. The mesh dress, the spirals, the inverted heel (Marc Jacobs, you're not the first). The first thing I thought, "Ooh, atoms and electrons". Oops, the geek in me just crossed over to my fashion alter ego.
I bet you are feeling what I'm feeling right now.
