When I say that the [90s are making a comeback](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzz-collection), I'm hardly stating that lightly. This editorial entitled 'Black Hole Sun' by Maria Karras only needed a [pair of Doc Martens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midnightblack-collection) to complete the entire era of grunge. Many are split on whether this is a good thing or not, but this spread definitely sells it well.

In the 'Black Hole Sun'spread by Maria Karras, these prints will quite possibly have you yearning for a pair of beat-up biker boots and [plaid shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet). There's nothing simpler than a pair of cut-off shorts, an oversized dress shirt and an untamed hairdo. Check out the gallery for more shots by Maria Karras.
