SELENA ETC. NEEDS A COMEBACK

As a dude of Mehican decent, I obviously know who Selena is. I mean, she's practically in my blood stream, considering all the times my chola neighbors, relatives, and sister played her records. It's pretty crazy and weirdly enough, I still haven't gotten tired of her music. (I have a short attention span for music these days) Anyways, the other day, while stuck in traffic, I remembered, Selena had a clothing line. It was a thought I had to dig into which resulted in finding some pretty amazing photogrpahs from 1996: the epitomy of the nineties.
Upon finding these photographs and gawking at the mere presence of them, I realized, these clothes would totally sell today. With everyone on this nineties high I figured, there has to be a market for them. I considered this since Opening Ceremony did that re-edition collab with DKNY and these garments totally give off the same ninties vibes that the others gave off. Even that one flower dress was giving off the same vibes~ as that shirt-dress Ageyness Deyn produced with her collab with Dr. Martens. It all ties in together, man. Though I really do love those reversible denim overalls. Like, damn. Selena was one progressive woman!
A part of me really misses Selena and I think if some company *cough* Opening Ceremony *cough* considered doing a re-edition collab, it would just be the best. Especially at a time when everyone is on this nostalgic high for the nineties.

DEE-KAY-EHN-WHY

DKNY is one of those iconic brands we all grew up with and even when you had no idea what the DK meant, you knew NY was no short for NYC. Much like Tommy Hilfiger, the nineties just wouldn't be the same without DKNY. So, with this whole revival of the nineties, it's pretty bitchin' of Opening Ceremony to do a re-edition collaboration with DKNY by remaking a few pieces from certain collections from the early nineties.
Though simple in nature, the entire collection is fairly bold but pretty cool. I find it to be pretty rad that in many ways, it's helping fuel this whole trend on clothing with huge logos on them from old companies.
*cough* Boy London *cough*
So, here's a few pieces that I would simple spill over and pass out if I owned them.

Though the pieces are clearly priced on the, I'm-a-broke-fashion-student side, I opted for the side I love and that was hunt me down some classic DKNY via that lovely place we call eBay. I found a cute little backpack, that actually serves the purpose of me needing a cute little backpack for the sake of adventures n' shit. So, I ultimately caved in and purchased it. I now have something to hold all of my goodies while I'm out being a hoodrat. Cute, no?
