So basically, when I got given the 90s to research for my character design I wasn't really that inspired. I much prefer older decades and styles, and didn't think I would find anything that would interest me for this project..
Then I realised this film would be perfect to look at.
Clueless
Set in a Beverly Hills high school in 1995, this film is full of fashion ideas.
The style of Cher the main character is 'rich girl prep'.
Patterned mini skirts, knee high socks, pleats, blazers... these were part of Cher's wardrobe. Mona May, the costume designer for Clueless, used all these items that were popular with wealthy 90s teenagers who were wearing the preppy style, and had fun making it tastless and tacky.
The grunge look. Baggy, oversized clothing. Associated with skaters, although people who didnt skate adopted this style too.
