Vogue Looking at dressing vintage from the 90’s to now...
Wearing old clothes together to create new looks first became a trend in the 1990’s grunge scene. Army surplus gear and flannel shirts from thrift stores were wardrobe staples. By time it got to the 2000’s the dressed-down hobo look of grunge had evolved into boho reffering to a group of 18th century French artists who lived cheaply but with great style. Fashionistas prided themselves on finding bargain designer pieces from past decades. It suddenly became more stylish to have a vintage Chanel jacket than a new one. Summer music festivals became a stage for dressed-down vintage looks, such as shorts and welly boots teamed with a hippy poncho from the 60’s or a 70’s t-shirt. As women trawled thrift shops, markets, and upmarket secondhand boutiques, fashion houses such as Dior and Gucci delved into their archives for inspiration from the past.
