Stonewashed jean cut-offs, [sleeveless rock band tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-1) and a young, dreamy Leonardo DiCaprio were all a huge part of the 1990s -- for me, at least -- and if you just can't seem to let go of those wonder years of [boy bands and grunge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection), you absolutely must check out The Stylists Own SS 2012 collection.

Styled by designer Billie Gray, this early look at the new line shows the hottest looks for warm weather, from casual streetwear to bedroom attire. Lensed by Zanita Morgan, young model Krystal Glynn looks like she was pulled straight from the set of My So-Called Life -- which is definitely a good thing. A 90s enthusiast myself, I've fallen head over heels for this collection and would love nothing more than to sport a Leo DiCaprio-adorned dress.
