Top model Rianne Van Rompaey covers the November 27, 2021 M le Magazine du Monde in a fashion story that honors the ‘90s. M’s IG describes the 1990s as a “decade of demanding style, of which the Japanese designers were the masters. A clean style, a little cerebral, overflowing with energy. For uncompromising elegance.”

The 1990s Were a Setback on Many Fashion Fronts

Some have pointed out that this decade of demanding style demanded size 0 bodies in fashion magazines. The size 4-6 supermodels were increasingly no longer the body types favored by fashion editors and the fashion business leaders who sought to disempower the supers.

Many of us are digging our feet deeply into the pavement, determined to NOT have any 90s redo in a literal sense.

AOC believes that an entire rollback to size 0 white women models tripping over each other for prime time exposure will not happen in the age of social media. Then again, AOC didn’t believe the January 6 insurrection at the US capitol was possible. And we never believed that Donald Trump would become president.
