The 90s are back, and according to several designers who showed at New York Fashion Week recently, they don’t plan on going away any time soon. I, a youth of this decade, am down with embracing a bit of this arrested development.

While a couple of these looks might not necessarily be the most wearable, they certainly evoke the era. The award for kookiest 90s-inspired collection has to go to Jeremy Scott.

Comme des Garçons nodded their heads to the 90s with over-sized plaid coats and sweaters one might have found at the local thrift shop in Seattle.

It doesn’t get more 90s than this Saint Laurent model, whose look was clearly inspired by the late great Kurt Cobain.

Are you ready for the 90s…again?
