“We are the Weirdos, Mister”

It seems that every good movie (or at least what is on my top ten) was released in 1995. Many of the cult classics of my generation are seriously the best movies I have ever seen in my life. Kids, Dazed and Confused, Empire Records, Mallrats, and The Craft were all released in 1995.

I just hosted a “Craft” party at my apartment about two weeks ago after discovering much to my shock and dismay that one of my friends had never seen it. Needless to say he was blown away at how amazing it was. While I was watching it for the 100th time I took more notice of the fashion style shown throughout. Most of the film the girls are in Catholic school uniforms but they are all styled to each characters personality which was genius on the costume designers part.

This past week Alexander Wang had his much anticipated Fall 2010 show. When I first saw it I have to admit I was underwhelmed but it had a sense of familiarity that I identified with. I couldn’t put my finger on it at first but then “Aha!” This is mid 90s but not grunge. Its from the time in my life when I would wear short sleeve shirts under my spaghetti strap dresses and dressed somewhat like a hippie. I knew I had seen this recently and it was in the Craft. Seems like velvet is back. Too bad I sold my floor length crushed velvet skirt 1o years ago.
