We sincerely hope you never threw out anything you wore in the early '90s, because that era is back with a vengeance. Witness Racked National's gallery of looks from Alexa Chung's Madewell launch the other night: It's all velvet babydoll dresses, fuzzy cropped Kurt Cobain sweaters, and tasseled clogs. Feel old yet? If not, consider that the last time these looks were popular, precocious attendees like Pixie Geldof, Christian Siriano, and Mark Indelicato were all but wee tykes. [Racked NY]
