My Boyfriend wears Perry Ellis… Yeah I know you’re jealous. Or at least you should be…

I’ve noticed recently that lots of people are looking back to 1994 for style inspiration. Some may say that girls like Cory Kennedy and MK Olsen look homeless but the combat boots, the plaid, and the floral dresses all scream GRUNGE! The difference between grunge style of today is it’s high fashion. Look at Alexander Wang’s collection (see below), torn tights with a $1,000 dress-now that’s Nu-Grunge Chic! So put on your acoustic Nirvania CD and let’s go on a tour of Grunge then and now.
