Beauty Through the Decades: 90's

That's how, step by step, we've come up to 90's. The decade of various beauty standarts that were incredibly diverse and constantly changing. I may be wrong, but i think that this decade was a certain transition moment when fashion models became as popular as famous actress and singers and deservedly concurred prefix "super-". You may not know the name of Gia Carangi (though she was one of the first supermodels), but you definitely heard of Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Kate Moss. Breaking into the highest league of models Kate Moss brought with herself a standard of extreme thinness, sometimes referred to as "heroin chic" from the strung-out, emaciated appearance of the face and body. In my opininon that looks great, but not on everybody. And that "androgyny" or "unisex" trend grew into the deepest layers of fashion's mind. So now in 2011 woman in fashion hardly can afford "loosening the belts", except Crystal Renn  of course (& other "+" size models). In the early 90's Grunge was extremly popular not only in music, but also in fashion and lifestyle. Courtney Love can proove that!) Those who weren't on grunge, were on rave, rap, pop-punk, brit rock or anything else that was popular back then. Tongue, eyebrow and nose piercings (for both men and women) also came into vogue in the '90s and even crossed into the "mainstream" of youth culture. And for sure most of the teenage girls wanted to look like one of the "Spice Girls". Well, let's look over those, who were on the peak!)
