Sorry, there's no section of the library devoted to 1990s fashion!
Searching for fashion by a specific decade can be tricky because the same time period can be described several different ways and information about a decade may be found in several different sections of the library. There is no one phrase that will bring back all the clothing of a decade so try a few different searches to see what works. Here are some suggestions of searches to start with. Get creative and add some of your own!
