# Hideous Fashion Flashbacks The ‘Sexy People' Blog Showcases Your Worst 90s Fashions By Hayley Grieve | Published 2009-03-15 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebrating-bad-90s-styles-sexy-people-blog-showcases-fabulously-embarrassi References: [sexypeople-blog](http://www.sexypeople-blog.com/) It’s inevitable that many of the photos we have snapped of us today will be laughed at later on in the future. The [“Sexy People” blog](http://www.sexypeople-blog.com/) is the perfect example of how funny those photos can be. People from all over the world submit portraits from the past, and one can browse them by decade, occasion, or even by type of cheesy backdrop. The website is pretty basic, but the amount of [voluminously frizzed hair, large glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/throwback-collection), and [acid wash jeans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-1) is impressive. The collection of [mullet mug shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet) is also top notch. Overall, the site is a great reminder that sometimes less is more when trying to capture a perfect moment in time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers to re-imagine old styles and create new trends. - **Nostalgia Marketing:** Opportunity for companies to tap into consumers' fondness for past trends and incorporate retro elements into their branding and products. - **Personal Archiving:** Opportunity for tech companies to develop software or programs for individuals to easily organize and preserve their personal photos and memories. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** Retro fashion trend can be capitalized by fashion designers and retailers. - **Marketing and Advertising Industry:** Nostalgia marketing strategy can be adopted and applied by brands and companies to target consumers. - **Tech Industry:** Personal archiving trend creates opportunities for tech companies to develop and offer new software or mobile apps. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hipster Era Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cobrasnake-y2ks-archive.md) - [Nostalgic Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-90s-looks.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Girlhood-Inspired Clothing Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peachy-dens-sweet-cheeks.md) - [Time-Altering Digital Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-machine-feature.md) - [Creative Experiment Sites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worldsworstwebsitelol.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry.md) - [Brand Refresh Preview Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheap-monday-event.md)
