Nasty Gal's 'Weird Science' lookbook shot by photographer Terry Richardson celebrates the fashion collectives love of styles from the 70s, 80s and 90s. The decade-themed tribute works in army boots from the age of Nirvana and bubble gum-pink lipstick from the Saved By the Bell series, a relative one-stop shop for retro apparel buffs.

Models Stella and Sabrina sport Sophia Amoruso's amusing assortment of ruffled party jackets, revealing cocktail dresses mesh biker jackets. Old school cell phone props confirm the vintage appeal of Weird Science, although the clothing gets the message across instantly.

Nasty Gal describes the collection as "Drawing from a scope of influences..." And though it may be shrouded in designs from the past, the lookbook points to the brands future.
