Today, we are diving into Vogue Magazine from July 1990! This is the first 90’s magazine that I am sharing on the blog and I am so ready for it!
It is absolutely mind boggling to me that 1990 was THIRTY years ago and considered vintage (BTW- vintage is defined as older then 20 years, while antique is older then 100 years).
The 90’s were an interesting time- and the fashions were no exception. People were ditching their neon colors of the 80’s and tight, form-fitting outfits, for dark colors and baggy silhouettes. 1990 seems to be a transition year for fashions from the 80s to the 90s, as remnants of the previous decade linger alongside a future glimpse into the true 90s aesthetic.
Recently, 90’s fashions have made a strong come back. Personally, I like them- the self expression and movement are a lot of fun. There were so many outfits in this issue that had me thinking “Hey, this picture could have been taken yesterday!”.
I really hope you enjoy viewing this issue as much as I do! As always, if there are any images you see in the video that I did not scan, drop me a comment or email via the contact page and let me know the timestamp and description, and I will get back to as soon as I can!
For this post I am collaborating with one of my favorite Instagram clothing shops- Coconut Vintage Threads! She posts the most amazing themed collections of a mix of new, gently used and vintage clothing items, in a a variety of sizes, in a fun auction-style setting! It is honestly like shopping with the girls – so much fun. She is going to be dropping a 90’s themed collection soon, so make sure to follow her for some great 90s vintage fashions coming soon!
