Welcome to the naughties!!!!!!!!!!

Decade summary:

The naughties has often been criticised as being a confused fashion era. Suddenly trends were formed more out of a collaboration of previous trends and styles. Other trend influences were seen coming from global and ethnic clothing, as well as the fashions being projected through the music industry. Teenagers were adopting looks like hip-hop, emo, gothic and indie-pop. For the most part, the mid-late 2000s did not have one particular style but recycled vintage clothing styles from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.

here are some music/ style icons of the early 00's/ late 90's:

It seemed as if girls were starting to dominate the fashion and music industry. There were all of a sudden so many powerful females on the scene. People like the Spice Girls, Girls Aloud, Sugarbabes, Beyonce, Britney, Christina... alongside the movie stars of the time which really included the likes of Keira Knightly, Kate Hudson and Sienna Miller. 

Welcome to the 90's..........

The 90's was a very busy era. here is a 90's timeline highlighting the most significant events that took place during the decade:

1990: After 30 years, Nelson Mandela is released from prison and becomes the first President of South Africa.

1991: The world is introduced to the World Wide web.

          

1992: Nirvana tops the charts with 'Smells like teen spirit'

1993: Pentium processor is developed by intel.

1994: Kurt Cobain shoots himself.

1996:  Tupac Shakur (2pac) is shot in Las Vegas while stopped at traffic lights.

1998: Apple launches the very first multicolour, translucent iMac.

All these events had a huge impact on society and artists were getting inspired by the changing world around them.

Artists were inspired and being frivolous and in new forms of art. The 90's really marked the beginning of  body modification including tattoos and piercings.

 This triggered an anti-conformist approach to fashion which was popular throughout the course of the 1990s, society grew more accustom to the casual chic look, including T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, and trainers, a trend which continued into the 2000s.

Kate Moss, was thrust into the public eye which, sparked controversy with her very thin, waif-like figure. Due to Kate’s extremely skinny heroin chic frame, many criticised her for allegedly promoting eating disorders in her shots.
