From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1990's fashion was the pioneer era of what is considered today to be classic modern structure with a mix of tweed, bright colors, and prints. Two main pioneers of such styles still admired today by many are Chanel and Versace. Karl Lagerfeld, the creative director of Chanel at the time, introduced supermodel Claudia Schiffer to the fashion scene and she inspired Chanel's new image according to Lagerfeld. Iconic designs still recognized today include matching tweed skirt sets, chain belts, the instantly recognizable double C logo appeared on everything from handbags to shoes, necklaces, broaches, and other accessories. In 1991, Gianni Versace debuted his symbolic and versatile Versace prints. He wanted to "use art in a flat way, without creative intervention, for it is in bad taste. I mix it up". Gianni was quoted saying this in an interview regarding his Spring 1991 collection. These prints are still well-known and highly liked today for Donatella Versace, Gianni's sister and now creative director of the brand paid tribute to her brother in Versace's Spring 2018 collection. As an avid art collector his inspiration stemmed from multiple paintings done by artists such as Sonia Delaunay, Victor Vasarely, and the Russian Constructivists.
