In 'Variations on Chic' for [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore) Italia, the androgynous Iris Strubegger shows her [bad girl side](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren) once again.

**Implications** - The fashion industry is evoking [90s nostalgia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection) as a way to appeal to consumers who lived in that era. Nostalgia has major influence over consumer purchases because it allows people to mentally relive their youth. Corporations looking to attract new consumers may consider utilizing nostalgia-inducing iconography in their media campaigns and wares.
