I have personally always had a nineties crush. Born in the mid eighties I have fond childhood memories of the era, discovering music and creating radio stations and my first discovery of fashion - i distinctly remember a teenage plaid skirt obsession, wearing a dark green and black one in this picture!
Plaid, and the grunge style of the nineties, was a look that was much favoured by Mary-Kate Olsen in recent years.
Gladiator sandal boots are an optional extra, on trend in 2010, personally I'd switch these for a pair of dm's.
Anyway, as you can imagine, my love for the era means that I am thoroughly pleased that the nineties were having an on trend moment in 2012 and am hoping this continues well into spring / summer 2013.
Opening Ceremony's collaboration with DKNY, launching tomorrow, is a promising indicator that this trend is not going to stop anytime soon.
The collection will reintroduce a small selection of nineties archived piece. My favourite is this cropped puffer jacket with logo. (£425)
Fronted by 'girl of the moment' Cara Delevingne. I am particularly loving the Gwen Stefani, No Doubt period, inspired hair.
Here are some items that I'd be grabbing to wear now to create a nineties grunge look:
