"The Day that Grunge Became Glam"
I wish I could adequately describe how exciting Marc Jacobs’ Spring 1993 collection for Perry Ellis was. The press mocked it, Jacobs lost his job, and the look fizzled fast. Yet, for 13 year-old girl, it was a delightful shock to see what I already wearing on the pages of Vogue. It made me realize that “fashion” was already all around me, and that there were very few rules to this game. The difference between my cheap threads and MJ’s high-end frocks made me curious about fabric, cut, marketing and pricing. This collection may be the reason why I study fashion today, and I never get tired of thinking about it.
