Time Warp

The 90s provided us with us with many amenities we still include in our day to day business. Gel pens, scrunchies, mood rings, slinkies... all help to keep the cognitive motions that helps this earth spin today.

However, there is one decade connoisseur that would disagree about the nineties. Someone that would go as far as to say that the decade as an era left no mark on the fashion world. Hadley Freeman (writer for the Guardian) wrote a pretty scathing article on the subject, which you can find here. So I countered this, and you can read my response to her ill-researched and nonsensical article here.

Have a look back and form your own thoughts on the 90s trends. All I can say is....
