Only Shirley Manson could front a band called Garbage. Back in the mid 90s she was one of my style inspirations. Actually, she still is. While she was in an alternative rock band, her style was rooted in grunge. I love her smeared eyeliner, fishnets, and Dr. Martens. Ok…girl crush status.
Here she is at the H&M for Marni event just a few days ago..looking awesome.

One of my favorite icons in the 90s was Matthew Lillard. He still is as a matter of fact. From the crazy killer in “Scream” to the blue haired punk in “SLC Punk” he always captured my heart. Why can’t boys look like this again?

I admit. I love guys in hats. Beanies, wide brim hats, cop hats, you name it. Hats really do complete the outfit. Over the past 3 years I’ve been wearing more and more hats, even branching out to a brimmed hat that makes me look like Indiana Jones.
Here is a look at some men rockin some hats that are just as diverse as their personalities.
Guys, keep it up.

To quote the infamous Huey Lewis and the News, it really is hip to be square. Well, in Michael Pitt’s case. He was chosen to be the new campaign model for Prada’s spring menswear season. Inspired by the 50s, Pitt shines in the designers new duds for spring.
Now I know it isn’t Monday but we can bend the rules a bit. Especially for Michael Pitt.

Who would have ever predicted that 15 years ago the grungy girl from “Hackers” would become one of the most inspiring people in Hollywood? From her out there attitude to her random rumors, she has always been one of my favorite icons.
I tried to gather some inspirational photos of her in the 90s to show my love on this Friday morning.
How fully awesome is this polaroid? 90s in a nutshell.
Both of them in Girl, Interrupted is pretty much the best thing ever.
I loved when she was married to Johnny Lee Miller…
ahh…love.

“Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin can openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life . . . But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. “
These are the opening lines to the film, Trainspotting. A movie about a group of heroin addicts living and going crazy in Edinburgh, Scotland. This movie will scare you straight from even thinking about touching any kind of drug, so tread lightly. Through the graphic depiction of the trials and tribulations of heroin addiction, the style of this movie has shaped so much of the trends out there today. Especially, in the new movement in grunge. Mixed with some mod influences of the U.K. there is no shortage in fashion inspiration here.
Not to mention, who doesn’t love Ewan McGregor and Jonny Lee Miller from the 90s?

The first time I saw Empire Records I longed for the days when I could work in a record store with such awesome people. I think it had the same affect on every teenager who watched it in 95. AJ was the sensitive artist in love with Corey, played by Liv Tyler. Every girl wishes that he was in love with her..Ahh swoon.
It also doesn’t hurt that his grungy sense of style is still so awesome today.

and if you haven’t seen Empire Records, consider this a reason to go see it NOW.
