90's Minimalism- a revival?

My latest trend obsession hark's back to the 90's minimalist and utilitarian trend with a little grunge thrown in for good measure. 

As a period when I first began to develop and interest in fashion; the 90's hold many interesting fashion memories (the spice girls, nirvana, kate moss & jonny depp...) and promote a kind of nostalgia in my heart that makes me feel like a little girl playing dress up again! There is a distinct naughties twist to the trend thanks to new fabric and garment technolgies, which makes the look clean, current, modern and wearable.

To get the look try sheer/silky slips, a-line & asymetric mini's, crop tops, contrasting textures worn together (wool,leather,silk,lace), chunky shoes, overalls (a tricky one to pull off!), simple slouchy knits & t-shirts, statement gold & silver jewellery, a neutral/monochrome colour palette all topped off with dark sunglasses, a toned physique and a kick ass tan!
This trend is perfect for summer when we are all that little bit more active and slapping on the rimmel sun shimmer!
*for a really modern twist and a little colour, add a splash of neon or metallic (anything holographic is bang on trend at the moment!)
