The 90s are Back!

90s

Having been a kid in the 1990s growing up with Saved By the Bell, Clueless, and T.G.I.F., it’s kind of starting to freak me out that the 90s are the new retro decade.  For the first time ever, I’m really starting to feel old.  But, in spite of it all, I miss the 90s and I’m glad to see them back in full force.  Sure we still used land lines and paid for the Internet by the hour, but the economy and music were amazing.  So welcome back!

From what I hear, the California grunge look that was all the rage in the era of teenage rebellion will be hitting stores once again this fall.  So in honor of welcoming my childhood’s trends back into modern fashion and pop culture, I put together a grunge-inspired photo shoot starring my favorite green plaid top that I found downtown at a vintage store.  I like to think that it’s actually from the 90s, but who knows.  All I’m missing is a pair of Doc Martens.

Frances Bean Cobain Rocks the Fashion World in a Stunning Black and White Shoot

I was once told by a creative writing professor in my junior year of college that if my stories were movies, they would all be in black and white never in color. In a way, I guess that is how I see the world. When I came across this black and white photo series of Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of the late Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and the notorious Courtney Love, taken by famed Dior photographer, Hedi Slimane, I was immediately drawn to them. If she doesn’t already have one already (which I suspect she probably does,) someone get this girl an agent. Apart from inheriting her father’s hauntingly beautiful blue eyes, Frances has grown into a beautiful young model with a style all her own. I am seeing a national ad campaign in her future.

Everyone wants to see more of this intense beauty who seems to be one of the most mature 19-year-olds I have never met. Though the repressed red carpet socialite in me has spent her most recent years following and glorifying the limelight, it is often those who avoid fame at all costs that receive the most notoriety. According to The New York Times, both Cobain and Slimane declined to be interviewed claiming that the photos were taken privately at Frances’ request and there are no plans as of now to publish the series in print. I guess being elusive only makes you more exclusive. Perhaps, I should take a few hints from Miss Cobain. After all, I do look cute in black and white and could use a cult following.

An All-American girl!
