Flashback Friday: 90210 Who Wore It Better?

I remember as a teen watching the 90210 episode when it was time for the Spring Dance. It went down every week in my parents basement with all of my girlfriends (we used to gather to watch the show together). That 1993 TV moment where Brenda and Kelly chose the same dress! GASP! A fashion moment that no one wants to have, seeing someone else in the exact look you have, especially in high school.

This is one of the many reasons I adore vintage clothing. It is RARE you come across the same piece and even more unlikely that you and another would be wearing it at the same event! Fashion for me is all about unique self expression, a difficult task while surrounded with mass market clones. There is a lot to say about styling looks that lends a unique perspective. I have to say I love the pearl and opera glove combo in this case.

This is the first iconic TV case of who wore it better and/or Bitch Stole My Look!

InStyle Magazine named this dress one of the most iconic 'prom dresses' of all time

A Gaultier Good Beat

En route to events, school and regular errand running there is always music on in my car.  My 5 year old daughter is very vocal about what she likes and does not like. Recently she has become OBSESSED with the 90's club/dance group Deee-Lite. It's been a while since the release of their first album, World Clique in 1990 but I still dig their beats.  In particular the track "Good Beat" which was always my FAV and now my daughters.

And in true Deee-Lite style there are a few mixes of the song but I like this one best:

When I listen to Deee-Lite I am immediately transported back to the runways of the 1990's. Deee-Lite with their catchy beats and mixes were the go-to group providing the soundtrack to several runways shows in the early 90's. Lady Kier was a chic and cartoonish flashback to the psychedelic 60's with her fabulous makeup, prints and platforms (LOVE HER!) Her style has always been inspiring to me and still is looking back.

When I hear Good Beat I think about the Spring/Summer 1991 Jean Paul Gaultier show that was a twisted mix of the garden of eden gone rasta. Hard to believe, I know but somehow it works.
