Anarchy in The USA
We’re feeling a little punk rock today… And we totally owe this to the opening of Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute’s latest exhibit PUNK:Chaos to Couture. Right now we’re inspired by our favorite icons from the era of safety pins and slashes. Youth, apathy, DIY, moto jackets.. What’s not to like? So here’s a collection of some of our favorite looks to jump start your sartorial excitement…
Check our these amazing stills from “It’s easy to get lost when you’re little”, a fashion video for i-D Online which is driving us crazy in the best way possible. It’s some serious 90s club kid realness. And what’s that, do we spy some Amarcord pieces? Why yes we do…
In this fashion short, director Marco Torres draws his inspiration from the intoxicating and overwhelming feeling of living in New York City. Model Teresa Omen exudes cool in acid-colored looks styled by one of our very own, Ashley Abtahie.
Check out the full video here!
Photo-stalking is kind of a human right circa 2013.
Our gift to you this Friday? Pics of some of the 20th century’s most iconic fashion designers — in their baby-faced days (or at least relatively so)!
Can you recognize all of them?

Throwback Thursdays!
On the other side of Spring fashion, Nasty Gal’s new mag SUPER NASTY launched Issue No. 2 with a magpie of psychedelic-fusion via Haley Wollens’ stylistic feature BABY STRANGE (shot by Tim Barber). Featuring mix-matched denim, metallic hot pants, rhinestone bikinis and a major dose of neon, Baby Strange is a testament to the fun-wielding springtime we’re all just willing to finally appear.
It’s also another stellar ’90s fashion moment showcasing awesome pieces from AVF’s Archive!
See the full spread on Super Nasty, here.
We’re in love with this 1960’s-inspired shoot styled by Amarcord’s own SoHo sweetheart Ashley Abtahie! This shoot is chock-full of standout pieces from our vintage archive. Stunning photographs captured by Milena Rakocevic.

The Place Beyond the Pines: Resurrecting the ’90s….Trailer style
Later this week Derek Cianfrance’s much anticipated action-drama The Place Beyond the Pines hits theaters (Mar 29). We’re particularly stoked for its release for a couple of reasons:
1) A great deal of the vintage that costume designer Erin Benach sourced for the ’90s era flick is from yours truly.
2) Ryan Gosling, obviously.
3) TPBTP is just one more shove in the direction of ’90s fashion resurgence, which we not-so-secretly love.
A heavy dose of ripped jeans, heavy metal T’s, crushed velvet, high-waisted Kelly Kapowski denim and suicide blonde hair (among SO many other things…) sounds like a film worth watching.
PSSST: If you’re in NYC, check it out early at BAM Rose Cinemas in Brooklyn.
