From the nuts and bolts of 90s grunge to the popular logo prints we’ve all grown to love, the resurgence of 90s fashion has arrived with a bold punch this season. During Milan Fashion Week, Donatella Versace brought back 12 baroque-style prints that were reminiscent of 90’s Versace – bombastic, daring and full of color. Besides the return of logomania flare, celebrities such as Rihanna, Kim Kardashian-West, and Kendall Jenner have made fanny packs the hottest hip-hugging accessory on the streets. In fact, fast fashion companies like Forever21 and Zara are tapping into these trends, pushing out one throwback piece after another. However, there are many up and coming designers who are doing the same, but in a refreshingly new way and it’s time for you to learn more about them. Without further adieu, here’s a list of the brands that will send you back into a 90’s tail-spin.
