Anti-fashion was the ruling style of the 1990s which saw minimalist styles as well as many overlapping, often contradictory trends. In the early 90s, the most significant event was the rise of grunge which has made a comeback in fashion today. Later in the decade, fashionistas moved away from grunge to more retro styles inspired by the '60s and '70s. Thus the horrific neon-coloured-Lycra-tights trend was born. These were often paired with long blazers and waist-belts. Lycra mini dresses featuring built-in bra cups a la Madonna became huge as well as the black leather biker, worn by both men and women.
