Blame it on the 20th anniversary of Nevermind, or maybe it's just that everything else has already been re-done, but Grunge, that 90's era staple consisting of loads of layers and mixed prints, is back in a big way this season. Seen on the runways for both men and women, the 90's trend got a major glam upgrade with cashmere and beaded details.
