The ’90s have been back in action style-wise for a few years now thanks to a wave of nostalgia that made it okay to walk around major metropolitan areas dressed like Zack Morris again. But when you dig a little deeper past the idea of acid wash, neon, and trapper-keepers, you find that the most basic style lines and silhouettes of the ’90s actually did get left behind. And with good reason. Enjoy these vintage ’90s magazine ads (mostly for mass market brands) and the denim atrocities they have immortalized.

In the warm, luxe interior of the Soho Grand Hotel, we caught What Goes Around Comes Around‘s Fall 2011 runway show on the first official day of NYFW. The rustic-nordic-meets-bohemian cues were a perfect fit with all out glamorous ’70s retro style. Denim trends included a loose vintage stove pipe fit, thick cuffs, and (our favorite), hem slits with vertical button closure. The ladies paired their cuffs jeans with sky high red platform shoes. Boys styled white jeans with military jackets, loose gray washes with camel colored leather accessories, and a whole lot of fur.
Stay tuned for more from the tents!

The title says it all, Summer is Bershka! With a youthful incandescence and sense of humor this Spring/Summer 2011 campaign is perfection!

One thing is for sure, Bershka definitely stays true to it roots and keeps it young, fresh, and summer-ready. Here are some of our favorite images from the campaign:
