1990s Jewellery: Austere and Sombre
|
In contrast to the 1980s love of money, power and ostentatious styles
and fashions, the start of the 1990s saw a more sombre mood emerging in
fashion trends. World events such as the AIDS crisis, corporate and
political corruption, wars in Europe and the Middle East, all took
their toll and this was reflected in fashion and styles - it was like
we were all paying a penance for the excessiveness of the 1980s.Â
People wore blank black clothes with large Gothic crosses as jewellery.
