After about two or three decades — the so-called twenty year rule of trends — what has been archived becomes desirable again: Far enough to feel new, but close enough to feel familiar. That’s what’s happening with the fever of Ninetieswhich shows no signs of decreasing. The 90s they have become aesthetic memory to be reinterpreted: casual and minimal look, flannel shirts, messy hair. And above all they, the true protagonists of that decade: the jeans. A garment without obligation, which you can choose in a hurry, but which makes the difference. He proved it recently Beautiful Hadid, under the spotlight of Milan Fashion Weekwith a couple of low-waisted bootcut combined with one zipped denim jacket: a fairly obvious reference to aesthetics nineties. From straight leg styles to baggy ones, up to essential bootcuts, 90s denim is back to calling the shots.

The charm of the Nineties for Gen Z: whispered sensuality and balance
90s sensuality is whispered. It doesn’t need excess, its strength lies in simplicity. Perhaps this is also why, among all the symbolic garments of the decade, jeans have become the protagonists of this return. There Gen Z he did not experience those years directly. He gets to know them through iconic images, films and the myth of the supermodels of the time. It is an aesthetic, almost museum-like nostalgia that speaks of measure and balance. At a time when everything is available and everything can become a trend in a matter of days, that straight, solid and special-effect-free jean seems to offer something rare: stability and spontaneity.
