Leather jackets weren’t a style that originated in the ’90s, but, as Byrd explained, “The story of fashion is also the story of revising design” — everything makes a comeback.

“From the very beginning of time, there’s only been so many ways people can approach how to put together fabric into something that goes on the body,” Byrd said. “You’ll see the revisiting of past designs and familiar silhouettes throughout the history of fashion.”

Acid-wash jeans were a new way of wearing denim at the time.
