I realize that this whole marbleized ‘look’ has been lingering for some time now (around with watercolour prints and renditions of agate), but there’s something about it that keeps me coming back for more – in all its various forms – just when I think it’s had its moment… With so many variations on a [...]
We all know that - for the most part – fashion design and trends seem to repeat themselves. But when I stumbled upon this editorial from September 1999… I found it pretty amusing at how many of these styles have re-emerged lately… for better or for worse! Yes, the styling has evolved (thank goodness!) but [...]
lily wow — you’re so right!! i’m sure part of that is the brilliance that is steven meisel, too

Callie Grayson I am loving the velvet and the mixed patterns that are out now. In 1999 I was wearing more jeans and vintage dresses, so I missed all the trends at that time

Anna Louisa That’s great! I’m looking for the perfect velvet something for the holidays…cozy and elegant at the same time!
Grace - Stripes & Sequins This is hilarious… I graduated highschool in ’99 and remember all of these trends. I am happy that fairisle sweaters are making a comeback… have always loved them!
Laurie Bearce Does anyone remember the jeans that were too big around your waist so you’d cinch them up with a belt and they pooched out the back? Maybe this was just a Scottsdale thing but man – I’m glad that’s over!
la domestique Love the styling in those photos! In 1999 I had this really great tailored burgundy velvet blazer I wore to jazz up my jeans and t-shirts. Wish I still had it now!
Veronique loveeee the trend inspiration!
wmbg i actually like the styling! crazy how these shots are from 13 years ago.
confession: velvet is a year round obsession of mine. but a new love is the resurgence of oxblood. definitely feeling that.
Cassandra LaValle Post author i’ve begun to be velvet obsessed lately myself
julie not my personal “look” but I adore the dramatic romance of all that velvet !
Franki My daughter is going through my closet as I write this….. franki

Funny thing isthat lately i have been watching some Seinfeld box sets and just thinking “damn,Elaine is quite in trend for nowadays”
But just like you,i was in college,so I lived in jeans and tshirts and a lot less sparkle…but i did use turtle necks and some velvet when the weather allowed me to (i mean allowed me, because at that time i lived in Rio 
)

lauren schugar Yup, these pictures are still current, crazy that there over 10 years ago
Windowpane. Check. Grid. Whatever you call it, this simple geometric pattern is back in full force for fall… Lemme tell ya. I saw that orange Kenzo dress a couple weeks back and sort of shrieked it was sooooo good (and possible reversible?). I’m not a huge fan of patterns in general when it comes to [...]
Heidi Love that orange dress. So cute.

Wow, wouldn’t have thought pink marble to look so good, cool and chic!

I can’t get enough of marble either! I love those pants. Great for spring!
I’ve always loved a deep pink marble, it looks lovely with the olive walls.
Wow, what a great post. I think marbling is really cool. I love how you showed three different ways of looking at it. They all look so different but yet are all similar. Great post!
