Style Inspiration: The Early 90's Sitcom


When talking about the inspiration for their new lines designers have cited artists, composers, style icons of the past and the fashion archives of yesteryear, but this season it looks as if they've been watching re-runs of cult early nineties sitcoms. House of Holland's floral denim could have easily been influenced by Saved by the Bell's Kelly Kapowski. And could The Crosby Show's Denise Huxtable be behind this season's fascination with oversized blazers? I'm really hoping so...I just won't be asking my hairdresser for 'The Rachel', just yet.
