Florals for spring might not be the most novel idea, but beauty vlogger Patrick Starrr's (with three R's) new Floral Realness line for M.A.C Cosmetics is here to change that. As you might expect from an Insta-famous vlogger who is known for his sense of humor and makeup transformations into Disney characters, the collection is playful. As a seasoned M.A.C-collaboration veteran (he made a neutral limited-edition holiday line last year), Starrr's newest collection takes on more vibrant, bold hues and packaging.

All of the makeup products are divided into two kits called Me So Fleek and Me So Chic, and each one includes products to create a full face. Me So Fleek is bolder, and includes one pinkish-plum matte lipstick, a neon-pink lip gloss that has blue-pearl flecks, and an eye-shadow palette with shimmery pink and blue shades.

Me So Chic has more neutral tones, like a pinkish nude lipstick and a pearly nude lip gloss. The coordinating eye-shadow palette has two muted pink and violet shades, as well as two striking bright-purple shades. Two products are also named for his beloved mom with the Sweet MamaStarrr lipstick and lip glass. Each of the two kits come with a blush compact with two pink or nude shades. It's all the florals you could want for warmer weather minus all of the allergies.

Starrr's M.A.C. collaboration will hit stores April 19.

Jaclyn Hill

Update (August 22, 2017 12:00 p.m. EST): After selling out in less than an hour twice already, the Jaclyn Hill Palette has been restocked once again. The $38 eye shadow palette went back on sale at 8 a.m. PDT today on Morphe's website, and it's still in stock. If you've been meaning to shop, we suggest clicking over to morphebrushes.com faster than you've ever clicked before. (Hopefully your WiFi can keep up.)

Update (June 5, 2017 7:00 p.m. EST): After months and months of waiting, we finally know everything we could possibly know about the Jaclyn Hill Palette - hallelujah. Following several delays and teasers, Jaclyn Hill not only posted a picture of the inside of the palette she teamed up with Morphe on, she also announced its launch date on Instagram. Now, we know exactly what every single one of the 35 new shadows look like. Not to bring up the cake again, but the cake was right. (In case you forgot in the six months of anticipation, a cake company posted a picture of a cake that looked just like the palette. However, Hill denied that they were similar.) The Jaclyn Hill Palette is filled with a slew of warm-toned neutrals, as well as a cobalt blue and a teal.

You'll be able to shop the Jaclyn Hill Palette come June 21 on Morphe's website for $38.

Update (January 21, 2017 10:00 a.m. EST): Our official confirmation is here. The cake was right. Morphe Brushes will be releasing the Jaclyn Hill Palette as Jaclyn Hill's biggest collab yet. Both the beauty vlogger and the California-based cosmetics company posted their own announcements on Instagram. Both shared a picture from the photo shoot that took place yesterday. (You can read more about it below.) Hill shared the story behind the making of the eye shadow palette on Snapchat last night. Just as she mentioned in an earlier tweet, she started working on it with Morphe back in February 2015, and the company gave her full creative control. The final product: an affordable palette with 35 brand-new, never-before-seen shadow shades. All are creamy, blendable, and smooth.

She also clarified what she meant by "biggest collab ever." In this statement, Hill was referring to the hard work and passion that went into making the palette. Some of the shades had to be resubmitted to the lab more than 30 times. Also, unlike her first Morphe palette collab, all of the colors are from scratch. (Before, she just picked her favorites from the company's selection.)

You can check out the brands' official Jaclyn Hill Palette announcements below. Needless to say, we can't wait to see the inside of this thing.

ICYMI beauty vlogger and queen of Champagne Pop Jaclyn Hill is about to drop her biggest collab yet. Last week, she gave us a countdown for the The Jaclyn Hill Palette (now six weeks). In the past 24 hours alone, more details about who she is teaming up with and what the eye-shadow palette will actually entail have been revealed on several forms of social media.

Yesterday, a very unlikely source, a bakery - yes, a place that makes baked goods - based in San Fernando Valley, CA, called Delicious Bakery, posted a picture to their Instagram page with two major Jaclyn Hill Palette hints. The picture itself was of a huge cake in the shape of a 35-shade eye-shadow palette. The top part of the palette had Hill's signature on it. Delicious Bakery also tagged the California-based cosmetics company Morphe Brushes. (BTW, they just came out with some kickass liquid lipsticks.) The picture has since been deleted, and the account is now private.

Hill, however, hasn't officially confirmed the Morphe Brushes news, but a similar palette appeared on her Snapchat story last night. During the promo shoot for the Jaclyn Hill Palette collab, Hill shared photos of her many glam looks, along with the inside cover of the palette. Just like the cake, it had her signature and the same wording: "This palette is dedicated to all my loving subscribers."

All of the balloons on set and the appearance of a Glow Kit led some of the beauty vlogger's fans to believe that she is collaborating with Anastasia Beverly Hills. TBH, I thought the same because the vibe reminded me of the Nicole Guerriero collab teaser.

Hill was sure to shoot down that rumor with a quick tweet. She's also nixed speculation of Smashbox and Huda Beauty (at least we are getting a highlighter palette from Huda Kattan soon) being possible brand partners-for now.

https://twitter.com/Jaclynhill/status/822172055709761536

https://twitter.com/Jaclynhill/status/822122730862428160

https://twitter.com/Jaclynhill/status/820885323852972032

Luckily, she did say the palette will be affordable.

https://twitter.com/Jaclynhill/status/821175542384852998

The most official confirmation we got yesterday was that, without a doubt, there will be on-trend red eye shadows included in the palette. That deserves all the praise hands emojis. Just look at how gorgeous she looked at the shoot wearing the upcoming shades.

Yup, we know that was a lot to take it, but someone had to do the deep dive, right? We will be sure to keep you updated on any new details that happen to rise in the next six weeks.

Rihanna

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
CLOSE

Rihanna gave herself a nearly impossible challenge when creating her recently released Fenty Beauty makeup line. At the launch party in Brooklyn earlier this month, she told the crowd that she'd tasked herself and beauty developer Kendo Brands with creating one of the most inclusive makeup selections to date.

Though others have made progress, including Covergirl (which announced Issa Rae as their new face last week), women of color have often been left with few color choices, and ad campaigns often left them out entirely.

Rihanna's answer is a high-end but budget-friendly line ($18 to $54, with 1.08 oz of foundation for $34!) stocked with 40 shades of foundation, 30 contour/highlighting sticks and a campaign featuring a diverse set of cool-girl models ( we see you, Duckie).

Fans and beauty bloggers hailed it as an instant success. But how do the products fare in real life, on those of us not blessed with Rihanna's natural Bajan glow? We tested some of the top products on four women from the USA TODAY newsroom with various skin tones, and pored through dozens of fan reviews for the sake of journalism and to answer some of your burning questions.
Does the foundation really match everyone?
First things first: This is not a product to order online. Yes, it is available on Sephora's website and at fentybeauty.com. But with 40 shades of the Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear foundation ranging from numbers 100 to 490, this process requires more than an online guessing game.

Our testers dropped by our local Sephora for a quick consult, which took about 30 minutes.

Social / mobile editor Mabinty Quarshie, who matched with 480, had one of the most seamless matching experiences.

"I thought it felt very natural and easy to use," she says. "It didn't feel too chalky to me. I really liked it and how it looked on my skin."

Life reporter Erin Jensen, who has the lightest complexion in our testing squad, was also the Goldilocks of the group. Originally matching with shade 240, she left the store with 190, but felt the color became a little too dark after hours of wear. Sephora reps confirmed the color does darken while it sets, but then should stay the same.

Which brings us to another pro tip: Ask for a sample (which Sephora will provide in a tiny tube) and wear for a day or two before purchasing. Also, take advantage of refund and exchange policies, the best friend of picky makeup girls and boys.
What's the coverage like?
This foundation doesn't play around - it's full coverage.

That was a point in the pro column for our testers conscious of uneven skin tone and blemishes. But it was a little a little jarring for those onboard with the no-makeup makeup trend.

For this beauty obsessive, it's ideal for on-camera moments (either work-related or those girls nights out that are bound to include lots of group pics), but thicker than everyday wear.
Is the finish glossy or matte?
The foundation is oil-free and completely matte, limiting shine in T-zones after a long day. It's best for those with oily or combo skin, but can work for those who have dry skin with the right prep.

Pro tip number three: Moisturize, moisturize moisturize. This is a good note for life in general, but also important for this foundation. The Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Primer is a good place to start - it's thick but not too slick.
What about her sticks?
The Match Stix, which come in 20 matte shades and 10 shimmers, provide endless options for concealing, contouring, highlighting and eyeshadow. Add in six different Killawaat Freestyle Highlighters color options, including the signature golden Trophy Wife, and it's the stuff of beauty junkies' dreams.

They may not make you look exactly like Rihanna, but the highlights are some of the best we've tried. A little shimmer goes a long way with these glittering babies.

The sticks are also delightful - our testers used the Chili Mango hue, which makeup artists hailed at the launch party as an early favorite from the line.

"I'm actually obsessed with the Match Stix in the color Chili Mango," says our tester and Life social media editor Anika Reed. "I usually don't use oranges in my daily makeup, but this worked as a beautiful flush of color with a nice all-over shimmer."
What separates Rihanna's lip gloss from the rest?
The Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer also lives up to the inclusivity hype, giving our testers a subtle pop of color that worked for everyone.

"I found it to be hydrating but not sticky, and the hue to be a nice complement to my complexion," Jensen says.
Overall
Bless you, Rihanna.

Fenty Beauty delivers. In a world where celebrity products are often misleading or cheap, the quality of the Fenty Beauty line is satisfyingly high, from the primer down to the brushes (which are seriously pro level).

Overall, we had an easy time finding foundations that matched our respective skin tones - with some of us experiencing pure makeup Zen.

"It's typically difficult for me to find a foundation that matches my skin perfectly. It's either too yellow, too red or a 'neutral' that reads with a gray tint on my face," says Reed. "I've finally found a foundation that is an exact match for me."

While it may never be possible to create one line of products that caters to all people, Rihanna has made a solid effort. We can only hope the industry takes note.

GIGI HADID and Tommy Hilfiger are revving up for a fourth season - quite literally. The spring 2018 collection encapsulates the all-American designer's love of motor sports and the model's jet-set lifestyle. Racing stripe prints, embroidered speed logos and graphic badges make up a race-track ready collection in keeping with the bold TommyXGigi collaborations that have come before it.

Of how racing directly shaped her athleisure style, the Vogue cover girl said: "Everything [about motor sports] is intriguing. The technical aspect, the different ways they modify the cars to race differently, what the driver speaks to his team about while driving 200 mph."

"I personally love the way the windbreaker jackets turned out," she said of the piece she'll be wearing next season. "I'm happy with the shapes and their ability to be worn as a fashion statement that is functional."

Ahead of the TOMMYNOW catwalk show that will close Milan Fashion Week on February 25, where all looks will be available for purchase as soon as the presentation closes, take an exclusive look at TommyXGigi's latest tie-up. Wish list your favourites here.

Beyonce

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In the autumn/winter 2016 collection of Beyoncé's athleisure line, Ivy Park, which was shown in a press preview in New York this past summer and is on sale today, there are innumerable crop tops. There are needle-thin crop tops and thick, sweatshirt crop tops; there are ringer tee crop tops and turtleneck crop tops, and a wispy crop top with cutouts in the back. There are halter crop tops and sports bras that are basically crop tops because, like nearly everything in the collection, they are emblazoned with the braggart Ivy Park logo, which is simple and telegraphic as a street sign: "IVY PARK" in bold, Arial-like font.

There are just as many kinds of leggings-ankle-length, capri, and a still shorter length suitable for cycling-giving the impression that there are endless sports, or, perhaps, the more inspiring message that there are infinite kinds of bodies, which might like a more fitted garment here and a looser one there.

There are also items that are less practical-and fabulously so. A jumpsuit, sweatshirt, and sweatpants are all available in denim (which is an awesome "screw you" to all those stretchy, glitchy "smart fabrics"), and a beam of items in metallic silver that look like the chicest tin-foil alien costume (of course that's who the aliens meant when they asked to be taken to our leader: Bey). The metallic puffer is so Beyoncé's-robot-army cool that it will sell out in a snap and surely show up at three times the price on eBay the next day. It's sleek enough to throw over nothing but the black matte Ivy Park wet suit to walk into a nightclub.

Between those decidedly unsportsmanlike looks and the inexhaustible variety of garments is the question of what physical activities Beyoncé had in mind she was designing the line. As one of the friendly, Ivy Park-clad publicists at the preview explained, Beyoncé had no particular sports in mind-though she was eager to point out that Jay Z and Beyoncé love basketball, hence the prominent use of mesh.

Instead, she suggested, Beyoncé imagines us wearing the line all the time-running errands, going to work, out on a date, you name it. This comes as a surprise: athleisure is now a dominant aesthetic in high fashion, but if there's one thing Beyoncé does not represent, it's the 24/7 overexposed workout regimen that is currently intrinsic to celebrity. While her physical fitness is certainly renowned, she doesn't share her diet and exercise regime when promoting an album. The only time she's spoken publicly about her diet in the past year was when she promoted her vegan lifestyle on Good Morning America, a strategic business decision. And what's more, Beyoncé, unlike most celebrities, is never photographed working out. The few "candid" or off-duty moments we get from her are highly constructed, carefully put together looks. So if there's one thing Beyoncé does represent, it's control.

Ivy Park translates Bey's brand, rather than her look, to her acolytes. It resists the popular illusion offered by Lululemon and SoulCycle leggings that you are working out all the time (indeed, Ivy Park's camo prints and backless sweatshirts may be too raver-goth for post-yoga brunch-in a good way). With that ever-present logo, Ivy Park apparel signals that you do everything in Beyoncé's workout clothing because everything Beyoncé does is kind of a workout, a display of discipline, care, efficiency, and drive. Part of the genius of Beyoncé is that she makes this look aspirational, amazing, attractive, and appealing. Her clothes sing the praises of the female form and a strong work ethic, without implying the latter somehow dictates the former. It's Beyoncé's world, and we're all dressing for it.

Love 'em or hate 'em, you can't argue the power of these iconic shoe brands and the loyal customers who flock to them.

More than 100 years old, Converse is one of the most universal sneaker brands. The Chuck Taylor has transformed from an athletic shoe to an all-around streetwear staple that has spanned generations and is still an in-demand style.

Vans
Calling all Californians. Vans - synonymous with the SoCal skate culture in the 1970s - soon became a shoe wanted by everyone. Now fans of the brand span across all demographics.

We can probably thank Oprah for this. But once the talk-show host dubbed the Ugg boot as one of her "Favorite Things" in 2000, the shearling shoe style has become a closet staple.

Manolo Blahnik
Yes, true fashionistas would have always known about Manolo Blahnik, and would certainly have made it a must-have, but it was "Sex and the City's" Carrie Bradshaw who helped make it one of the most aspirational brands in the world.

Birkenstock
Once you walk on the famous footbed, you just keep coming back for more. The company's loyal fan base favors the shoes' comfort and distinct aesthetic.

Christian Louboutin
The red-bottomed soles will tug at a shoe lover's heart strings. And when it comes to luxury footwear, Louboutin is known worldwide and is called out in more songs than we can count - just ask Cardi B.

Timberland
The famous boot has turned a tactical outdoor product into a symbol for New York and hip-hop culture. The 6-inch silhouette has been reimagined countless times, thanks to collaborations with Supreme, Off-White and North Face - making it one of the most coveted brands in footwear.

Toms
Inspired by the traditional alpargatas in Argentina, Toms slip-ons have become one of the most recognizable shoe styles. With its One For One business model that matches every pair of shoes purchased with a new pair of shoes for a child in need, Toms was able to land a devoted consumer base and sustain it.

L.L. Bean
It's safe to say that L.L. Bean has a loyal following. So much so that the company was recently sued for changing its lifetime return policy. Plus, the L.L. Bean duck boot is easily known as cult favorite and is often sold out.

Jordan brand
With fans waiting hours, sometimes days, for the latest Jordan release, while others shell out thousands to get a pair, it's pretty self-explanatory as to why Air Jordans have an obsessive following.

New year, new trends for t-shirt graphics. We've skimmed through the best of the best t-shirt designs from our community to predict what will be hot this coming year. Stick in one of these categories and you're sure to have a winning design.

Mystic Minimalist Linework

Inspired by blackwork tattoos and natural themes, this minimalist and thin-lined approach to t-shirt designs is an evolution of the "badge" designs of three years ago.

Master the look: Pair minimalist sans-serif type with images of stars, phases of the moon, hands and palms, flowers, mountains, and other natural elements. Keep line work thin, and create compositions that resemble something you might envision as a tattoo.

Boxed Typography

This approachable design formula can help anyone create a cool t-shirt graphic. Pair an impactful word that encompasses your community or cause with a fun geometric shape.

Create your own: Space out the words you want on the shirt within a geometric shape. This could be a rectangle, circle, or even a hexagon or more dynamic shape. Choose a geometric sans-serif font for the lettering. To add a personalized touch, add your logo or hashtag inside the shape or right underneath it.

Resistance Designs

The turmoil of the recent months has opened the doorway for creative expression of political and social views. People are wearing their hearts on their chests as they speak up for the injustices they see.

Make it loud: Use t-shirts as moving billboards for the causes you care about. Go big and bold, using bright colors and contrast to make sure no one misses your message.

Minimalist Phrases

Another approachable design technique is going minimal and creating a design that is solely typography.

Write it out: Evaluate what font will make your design shine. Type out your word or phrase, and test a handful of fonts to find the best one. Use a dynamic t-shirt and ink color combination to make sure your message is clear and readable.

Detailed Animal Illustrations

For animal rescues and wildlife protection organizations, bold illustrations in all sorts of design styles are a popular approach to t-shirt graphics. If you are creating a design for this type of organization, think about making the star animals of the cause the focus of your shirt design.

Design a colorful masterpiece: Once you choose a design style, create a bright drawing of your subject. Choose ink colors that will contrast to the shirt color in order to really help the illustration pop.

Hand-Drawn Illustrations

The hand-drawn, sketchbook look paired with handwritten typography is still a prominent design look.

Sketch and scan: Draw designs on paper and scan them in to a computer to help you create a more organic look to your t-shirt design. Trace your sketches in a design program to turn your hand-drawn illustration into a rocking graphic for your t-shirts.

High-waisted pants are the real spring -summer 2018 must have. What? Have you already heard something like that? Actually, it's been some seasons they're the pants we have to keep in out closet. Why? Because they'rem great on every body and they're super easy to match. Don't you believe us? Just read us!

Among all the pants we need for this spring, high-waisted pants are for sure the easiest fashion item to wear because they're perfect to enhance every shape: the accent on the waist will make even the curvier silhouette slimmer, but theire loose fit will add some volume to the thinnier ones. And they're also perfect for every momento of the day, from formal occasions to funniest ones.

On next season runways, we saw them matched with everything: loose T-shirts, super classy shirts worn under light coats, kimono and cropped tops. Denim is a big trend with all the seventies jeans we saw, but also checkd pants with that vintage flavour and super glossy styles in vynil or latex.

If you don't like skinny pants, palazzo pants are undoubtedly for you. If you already put large and masculine pants on you spring wish lists, we also suggest you to focus on belts, with big logos or sparkling touch: they will be the detail the will make the difference on you outfit!

Cardi B is quickly achieving fashion icon status. Now she's collaborating with one of her favorite brands (and a favorite of influencers everywhere)-Fashion Nova.

We'll have to wait until October 2018 for the Cardi B x Fashion Nova collaboration to drop, but the rapper has not held back about her love for the brand and even included them in her lyrics for "She Bad." "I could buy designer, but this Fashion Nova fit all that ass," she raps.

A video of Cardi in Fashion Nova jeans on her Instagram got more than 8.5 million views. "Wanna know how rich people like me stay rich?" she quips. "By staying on a budget. These pants right here are Fashion Nova."

The massive collaboration collection, which is a first for the brand, will include 80 to 100 pieces ranging from her beloved denim to undoubtedly show-stopping dresses, as well as outerwear.

"I can't think of a better fashion icon for our first design collaboration than Cardi B," the brand's founder and CEO Richard Saghian said in a statement.

The collection will be available in Fashion Nova stores and online at fashionnova.com this fall.

Fashion in the early 1990s was generally loose fitting and colorful. Unless you were going for the grunge look, then color was the enemy.

Who remembers pegging Skidz pants bought from Merry Go Round? We had to wear Air Jordans, too. Our t-shirts were big and our shorts were extra long.

Tapered pants were a big deal. If they weren't tapered, then you had to taper them yourself with a fold and a couple flips.

Boys and girls both wore baseball caps in many different ways. Mullets were stylish for a couple years and every sweater had a turtleneck under it.

But then grunge happened. Suddenly every thrift store in town couldn't keep a flannel shirt in stock to save their backs. Teens were digging through dad's box of old clothes to get their hands on some authentic hole-ridden jeans to wear over top of their long john stockings.

Barbers nearly went out of business because no one under 17 got their hair cut any more (OK, we may be exaggerating just a little.)

Also in the early nineties fashions worn by hop hop artists were becoming increasingly mainstream. And because of the growing popularity of hip hop music among the suburban community, urban styles were seen everywhere, not just in the big city.

By the late 1990s hip hop style was arguably the most popular among young people.

Starting in the mid-90s, industrial and military styles crept into mainstream fashion. People were finding any way to make a fashion accessory out of a piece of machinery. Camouflage pants were ironically worn by anti-war protesters.

By the late 90s, rave culture swept through and people were looking for clothes that were more glamorous again. The grungy styles of the early nineties were old hat. Looking rich was cool again. Name brand designers were back in a big way.

Interestingly enough, late 90s clothing styles are not too drastically different than they are today. In the 1990s, musicians had a much greater influence on what young people wore than designers. All a kid in Kansas had to do was turn on MTV for the latest east and west coast styles of the moment.

In-Depth 1990s Fashion Profiles

Fashion in 1990

In 1990, recession-weary shoppers chose to spend money on clothes that would stay in style as long as possible. That meant that the wild shapes and colors of recent years needed to be toned down.

The jacket remained the key to daytime dress. A trend setter in the jacket trend was Chanel, who introduced loose versions of the famous Chanel jacket slit vertically at the hem. Some were bright colors like hot pink, tangerine and white. Other leaders were Giorgio Armani, and Calvin Klein.

The biggest difference in 1990 fashion was an explosion of color, with alarming arrays of bright yellow, orange, red, purple and green. Neon bright colors could be obvious as the primary color of a pair of pants - or they could be subtle as the color of a pair of shoestrings.

Brocade, embroidered satins and laces were important, but the most popular style of eveningwear was the slender black dress, worn quite short with black stockings and high-heeled shoes.

In the winter of 1990 the short, swingy coat was worn in full force. Women loved how racy the coat looked over short skirts. Casual styles, such as anoraks and parkas were prominently seen in cold-weather climates.

A revival of the interest in made-to-order clothing occurred in 1990 when women realized that it wasn't more expensive than ready-to-wear clothing. This surprised many fashion analysts and drew other designers to New York City, following the success of Arnold Scaasi.

Fashion in 1991

By 1991, the well-known and well-established designers were in their 50's and 60's. Geoffrey Beene, regarded by many as the most prestigious designer in New York City, has been the head of his own fashion company for 28 years. James Galanos, whose headquarters is in Los Angeles, has been a fashion leader for 40 years.

Designers everywhere focused on the jacket as the key to contemporary dressing. Denim jackets and leather biker's styles appealed to younger people. For the sophisticated woman, there were long, gently curved jackets from major de signers, such as Giorgio Armani and Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel, as well as less expensive versions without
designer labels.

I wore a long, green, army style Eddie Bauer jacket.

A standard way for women to dress for the office was to wear one of these longer jackets over a skirt that stopped short of the knees. But all kinds of combinations were possible, such as jackets with trousers, leggings, or tights. Jackets with shorts also gained acceptance in some areas for more formal daytime wear, as women wore shorts to offices during the hot summer weather.

For women whose lives did not require formal dressing, including most students, T-shirts, sweat shirts, sweat pants, and jeans were the rule. Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, and other major designers introduced special jeans collections to appeal to these women and to
those who dressed informally during the weekend.

The special weekend-wear category was not limited to basic blue jeans. Designers offered white and black jeans, stone washed, and beige styles. Cutoffs and jackets to match appeared in stores, as did overalls and skirts, both short and long.

Skirt length moved into fashion consciousness again. Since 1988, short skirts were considered the standard, though many women wore their hems at midcalf. Designers everywhere in the fashion world introduced some longer styles into their collections. The consensus among fashion leaders was that long and short hemlines could coexist. Many designers claimed that they already did.

Plaids made a strong fall fashion entry, spurred by Oscar de la Renta's suits, coats, and even furs worked in plaid patterns. They were shown at his Paris debut in March. De la Renta was the ﬁrst American designer to join the French ready-to-wear shows.

Fashion leadership still remained in the hands of ready-to-wear designers in 1991. But the couture, or made-to-order branch of the fashion industry, based in Paris, showed renewed vigor. Designers such as Lagerfeld at Chanel, with his denim and motorcycle jackets, and Claude Montana, who introduced space age looks at the House of Lanvin, revitalized couture fashion during the year. But all the couture houses also had ready-to-wear collections that were less expensive than made-to-order clothes.

Fashion in 1992

Fashion in 1992 was so subdued that the most popular color was black. One other major change was the lengthening hemline.

Due to a slow economy, designers that emerged in 1991 didn't take off as expected. The two exceptions being Isaac Mizrahi and Marc Jacobs, who were widely accepted into the fashion world in 1992.

For women who didn't care so much for skirts, there were always pants. The pants resembled the early 1970s styles, with flaring boot cuts. Pants were worn at work, at home or out to the movies.

Animal prints were in high demand in 1992. Many women decided not to buy fur coats unless they were made of synthetic materials. Prints suggesting tigers, giraffes and leopards turned up in everything from t-shirts to shoes to purses to dresses.

Casual weekend fashions were emphasized in collections by Calvin Klein and Donna Karan. These collections included denim separates, long and short skirts, sweaters and pants.

Yves Saint Laurent celebrated his 30th year in the fashion industry. with a spectacular fashion show at the opera de la Bastille in Paris. Adolfo quietly passed his 25th anniversary without fanfare.

Valentino hosted his retrospective show to New York City in September, exhibiting clothes of his design that spanned 30 years.

Fashion in 1993

In 1993, there was a brief flurry of interest in bell-bottom pants and platform shoes. But most fashions presented by the world's leading designers fizzled and failed to affect the ready-to-wear market.

For example, top designers had successfully reintroduced the long skirt in 1991, but in 1993 a significant segment of the fashion-conscious public rejected the long skirt. Stored reported that calf and ankle-length skirt sold well, but women simply weren't wearing them. Women frequently chose short skirts or pants instead.

It was in 1993 that the fashion world began to lose touch with what women actually wanted to wear. The extravagance and polish of fashion shows approached the best Broadway production. Some designers introduced styles as diverse as ancient Greece and Victorian England, but these clothes were unsuited to the electronic age.

Designers turned to top models such as Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer and Christy Turlington, but observers noted that the top models look great in anything, but "normal" women wearing the same style found it difficult to achieve the same effect.

A surprising success in Fall 1993 was the long, black, fitted winter coat.

Teenagers everywhere were seen growing long hair and wearing tattered flannel shirts a la Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Even the preppiest kids were sporting the new "grunge" look. Parents everywhere shook their heads in disbelief, thinking they had successfully shook the sloppy 1970s style.

The ball cap was a popular accessory in 1993. The bill was typically bent modestly and the bill rested above the hairline.

Big, fat cotton t-shirts had completely replaced the skinny, tight blended t-shirts. In 1993, 80s t-shirts were not ironic, just out of style.

Green canvas, military style jackets were commonly seen, and Nike Air Jordans were the tennis shoe of choice.

Fashion in 1994

In early 1994, the "grunge" style had completely taken over the American fashion world. A style derived from clothes worn by Seattle rock musicians, grunge was an assortment of jackets, vests, sweaters, skirts, scarves, and footwear that resembled hiking boots.

Marc Jacobs developed a grunge collection. Gianni Versace did too, but women found themselves hard pressed to pay designer prices for what they thought resembled second-hand clothes. While grunge remained popular with the younger crowd in 1994, women over 30 were unimpressed.

By the end of 1994, women were wearing high heels and dresses made of satin, metallic or other high shine fabrics. Feathers and fringe, beads and sequins adorned clothes that hugged the body. 1972 glam was back!

Comfort persisted in the clothes women wore in their downtime. Tights made of spandex, t-shirts and loose sweaters dominated the weekend.

Women still found the suit to be the most useful way to dress for the increasingly faster-paced modern world. Giorgio Armani figured out ways to tailor clothes that both men and women loved.

As Yves Saint Lauren found out, using real fur was an invitation for passionate protests from animal rights activists. During his first visit to the U.S. in 12 years, he was greeted by angry picketers who took issue with the fox trim on his jackets that were on display at a New York City Saks Fifth Avenue store.

Fashion in 1995

Men and women did not blindly follow fashion designers in 1995. Sure, they still dressed up for weddings and special events, but for the most part everyone wore casual clothes. T-shirts were seen everywhere.

Women ignored the supposed hemline of the times and interchanged short and long skirts when they felt like it. Women were less interested in provocative clothing, trading in sheer fabrics and tall heels for comfort and freedom. Some women looking to enhance their curves, however, were quite fond of the push-up bra.

The American fashion buying public had all but lost interest in high fashion. Designers spent millions on lavish shows, parading supermodels around in fashions that no common woman would be able to afford, let alone wear. To the average woman, fashion shows became something of an amusing novelty and not really something to be taken seriously.

Expensive labels gave way to practical ones like The Gap. Many cost-cutting women were getting their clothing from Wal-Mart, K-Mart and Caldor. They would often "cross shop", meaning they would get one or two pieces in an upscale shop, then supplement it with a cheaper pair of jeans or a sweater.

Almost every designer that made a profit focused on lower-priced styles. Geoffrey Beene made lower-priced styles for men and women that were sold in 135 shopping malls.

The "dress for success" style that dominated previous decades practically disappeared in 1995. Increasingly, companies were offering "casual Fridays" in which employees were allowed to wear jeans to work.

And although sportswear had been around for 50 years, designers like Calvin Klein, Donna Karan and Ralph Lauren were still finding ways to put a new twist on an old plot.

Fashion in 1997

Popular fashions in 1997 included casual dress at the office and a return to the styles of the 1970s.

Men, women, children - almost everyone took to wearing baseball caps in 1997. Bending the bill was necessary, but it was also common to see people wearing them backwards, or even sideways (in an ironic sort of way).

Monochromatic shirt and tie combinations kept men's clothing subtle. But close-fitting knit tops, flared pant legs and tall platform shoes reminded us of an era two decades prior.

The fashion industry was shocked by the senseless murder of Giovanni Versace on July 15.

Interest in fashion, which had peaked in the 1980s, had been waning for several years. To restore that interest, designers created styles to fit an increasingly relaxed era.

For women in the workplace, the pants suit replaced, once and for all, the traditional jacket/skirt combo.

Sportswear like casual jackets, t-shirts, sweatshirts and tennis shoes (ie: sneakers, trainers) were acceptable for many occasions.

Even for formal settings, elaborate dresses were inappropriate. Women chose the "little black dress", with or without subtle embroidery. Luxury was expressed quietly, with precious fibers like silk and cashmere.

Surprisingly, fur was making a comeback, despite constant anti-fur protesting. But it wasn't the full length coat of yore, the fur was used more for trim, handbags and casual uses.

Fashion in 1999

The fashion world's focus in the final year of the millennium was on mergers and acquisitions much more than fabrics.

Up until the 1980s, smaller fashion firms were able to stay in business by being more flexible and being able to react quickly to the newest trends. Since then however, these companies had struggled to keep up and many fashion boutiques merged into huge corporate enterprises.

The biggest acquisition of 1999 featured Gucci, who was almost purchased by Louis Vuitton. Gucci ended up going to Pinault-Printemps-Redoute instead.

In the U.S., Kasper of New Jersey bought the Anne Klein Company and Estee Lauder swept up Stila, an emerging cosmetics company.

Sportswear remained the dominant choice worldwide. Some sportswear designers tried dressier looks to little fanfare. Women wore fitted tops over t-shirts or tank tops, while jeans featured embroidery and other decorations.

In order to spice up their sportswear, women were turning to colorful accessories. Brightly colored handbags, glittering hair ornaments and jewelry, such as arm bands and bracelets had made a strong comeback.

The Pashmina shawl, made from the finest cashmere on the planet, was a huge success. It came in bright pastel shades and was worn over casual clothes as well as evening wear. Even thought prices of this shawl could easily top $100, they still won worldwide acceptance as a luxury fashion item.

With the impending turn-of-the-millennium parties approaching, fashion designers put all of the efforts into evening wear. Dresses were sleek, in all lengths, made of luxurious fabrics. The were adorned with embroidery and beads.

By the end of the century the business suit in the office had all but vanished. Men and women both were embracing the new "business casual" look, not just for employee comfort, but as a tactic to recruit younger generations.

Supermodels no longer carried the same sway that they used among the fashion industry. Instead, movie stars were the trendsetters. Stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman were featured more prominently in fashion magazines by 1999.
