Pull out your denim overalls, ripped jeans and leotards, as French director Loïc Prigent delves deep into the iconic decade that was 1990s in his newest documentary Fashion in the 1990’s.

Known for his documentaries exploring the past and present in all things fashion, Prigent continues his investigation of historic fashion moments, trends and mishaps. Counting down the most influential and nostalgic fashion statements, designers and models, Prigent carefully unravels the decade that reformed and reinvented the fashion scene. From unkempt grunge and heroin chic, to the return of minimalism, the film asserts that the 1990s had no limits.

Fashion in the 1990’s is a chaotic mash up of interviews and archival footage. The frenzied alignment of runway shows, interviews, and offstage footage, imitates the rapid and cutthroat nature of the fashion industry. The film’s grainy 90s material is also uniquely charming and leads the audience through a path of nostalgia.

Loïc seamlessly combines this archival footage with current perspectives from industry insiders with interviews from designer Jean Paul Gaultier, Oliver Zahm from Purple Fashion Magazine, and Style.com’s Editor-at-Large Tim Blanks.

In this 52-minute snapshot of the 1990s, Prigent pays tribute to a decade that was simultaneously fearless and fearful. From Karl Lagerfeld to Alexander McQueen, the 90s saw the emergence of new designers, larger-than-life catwalk events, kitsch trends, and comeback of styles from previous decades.

Fashion in the 1990’s is showcased at ACMI as part of the VAMFF Cultural Program. Screenings run until Sunday 8 March 2015. For more information click here.
