The &lsquo;90s were rife with familiar faces embedded in culture, with the &ldquo;Supers&rdquo; marking a new era and forever changing the relationship between fashion and celebrity. Until the rise of Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, Tyra Banks, and Linda Evangelista, the clothes were more famous than the models. The Supers brought personality to the fashion industry, encouraging individuality. Their devil-may-care attitudes and distinct personalities shone brightly on runways, in pap photos, and on the cover of Vogue. Countless photos featured off-duty models wearing their takes on trends, which have become pop culture iconography. This made celebrity endorsements commonplace, which, in turn, led to both red carpet and everyday looks becoming quite the opposite: highly stylized, requiring a netizen of professionals to manufacture the perfect looks of today&rsquo;s celebrity ambassadors like Zendaya, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, and Kim Kardashian. We may be seeing a return though to the undone &lsquo;90s aesthetic as a rejection of the cultivated Instagram image.

1995 was the year that a switch flipped. This trend story in the L’OFFICIEL archive, from 1995, shows how the style swung in the minimalist direction, with a dose of sexiness, on the most important runways of the day.
