Fashion is cyclical, and designers, indulging in nostalgia, periodically suggest returning to a particular era. And this time they decided to make a stop in the dashing 90s, where a riot of colors, oversized robes, experiments with style and the most unexpected combinations reigned.

Considering modern masterpieces of design thought, it is sometimes difficult to understand where creativity ends and real art begins.
