Gianni Versace Fall 1993 and Michael Kors and Naomi Campbell

Time warp to 1993 Gianni Versace with some Michael Kors(project runway) towards the end.  Naomi Campbell is in the height of her runway career here and looks amazing. Its so odd for some reason to go 15 years back through fashion time. There are 2 ways most people see these old shows, either hip and back in or completely outdated. Flared pants and stripes seem to be all the rage here.

Versace’s 1993 fall collection, with Naomi Campbell, Yasmeen Ghauri, Carla Bruni etc.  Michael Kors collection with Naomi Campbell towards the end.

Victoria’s Secret & Bob Dillion Commercial

Victorias Secret models and Bob Dylan team up for this commercial video

and the copy for this video goes like this…

If you’re going to “sell out” this is the way to do it. Bob turning his back on the stuff this gal is selling. Why? The clue is in his song “High Water,” probably written around the same time as this tune: “Throw your panties overboard! I can write you poems make a strong man lose his mind.”
But if you’re going overboard for panties, she’s got a pair.

The 1980’s leggings reborn is definately not my favorite look, but it seems 1980 style has been on the runway of high fashion around the world this last year
