1990

** 9 **** 9 **** 0 **** ’ **** s **** F **** a **** s **** h **** i **** o **** n **** s **  ** : ** Several major silhouettes identify the decade. The decade began with short fitted jackets, a shoulder padded leftover from the eighties that sometimes sported peplums, fluted princess panels or hip Basques with fabric swathed bertha style shoulders. The first new different silhouette was the 1991-2 fingertip length straighter, longer line three-quarter narrower jacket that moved down an inch for every year of the era. It was worn with an above knee skirt or flirtatious circular layered or snappy pleated skirt in the early decade. Ra-Ra skirts, a froth of short frills or net set on a mini skirt were popular in the early 90s with the under twenty fives. ** : ** Trouser silhouettes included the oversized baggy hip hop look of Sports Names|Adidas]] wind pants and baggy jeans. Young people adopted loose cargo pants and fitness sportswear as a general uniform. Leather and leather imitations reappeared as trousers mid decade. Later in the decade short, boxy, zippered, stand neck, rock chick leather jackets in pink or black mostly got teamed with jeans. Young girls imitating pop girl bands like the Spice Girls favored skimpy bustier tops or midriff revealing halter tops worn also with jeans, trousers, cropped trousers or mini skirts. Skimpy, stretch and cling tops made from soft Lycra enhanced fabric in imitation of designs by Léger and Alaïa were used to enhance the figures of many with breast implants. ** : ** The classic blazer, a late 80s early 90s fashion, remained popular with women over thirty five, especially with subdued worsted wool straight trousers. One blazer sold by Marks and Spencer rumored to have been designed by Armani was voted a best buy by a national magazine. Many UK women owned at least one of the colors it came in, which ranged over a 10 year era from navy, bottle green, camel, black, wine, red, Saxe blue and several dulled tartans. ** : ** The London Company Ghost kept even private members of their shop Voyage waiting for their soft floaty designs that were feminine and distinctive. However they were very easy to copy and to run up at home and soon were everywhere. Nationwide the girly fashion for the petticoat dresses or cowl neck shoestring strap dress worn with a plain, velvet trimmed or beaded cashmere cardigan or Pashmina set a return to femininity. Flesh began to be exposed again and some of the fashions looked good on younger women with toned bodies. One of the best hits in bras was the ultimo bra. This gel filled bra gives not only a natural look, but also cleavage to flat chested women. The actress Julia Roberts wore one to great effect in the film Erin Brockenvich.
 * Leftover Shoulder Pads ** ** : ** Remnants of the eighties were still around for the first years of the 90s and particularly in provincial areas. Short above knee straight skirts and stirrup ski pants masquerading as a refined version of leggings were worn with long chenille yarn sweater tunics, oversized shoulder padded shirts or big embellished T-shirts. The latter gradually reduced in size to become slimmer fitted and semi fitted garter stitch knits with fake fur collars, darted three-quarter shirts and screen printed t-tops minus the pads often worn with tie waist, easy loose trousers, jeans or boot leg trousers.

Ross was the host of the public television series // [|The Joy of Painting] //, which ran from 1983 to 1995 and still appears in reruns in many broadcast areas. During each half-hour segment, Ross would instruct viewers in the art of oil painting, using a quick-study technique that kept colors to a minimum and broke paintings down into simple steps that anyone could follow

Popular art forms in the 1990s include bio art, cyber art, cynical realism, contemporary art, formation art, internet art, Massurealism, new media art, software art, and software art. Many of the common new arts included computer technology because it was so new at the time.

1990's POLITICAL FIGURES

We all love politics so much in High School, sometimes even into our adult lives, so this is definately a topic of interest. Our forty-first U.S. President was **George H.W. Bush**, for the republican party. Bush served the end of his second term in the early 1990's. Following was **William Clinton**, well known as Bill Clinton. Clinton served as a democratic president for two terms in the Whitehouse. His Vice President was **Al Gore**, who ran for President and lost to George W Bush in the early 200's, but that's besides the point. Since all of this formal writing is very exciting, I'll put it in picture form.

Our 41st President George H.W. Bush

Father of our 43rd President and Vice President for Ronald Raegan.George Bush brought to the White House a dedication to traditional American values and a determination to direct them toward making the United States "a kinder and gentler nation." In his Inaugural Address he pledged in "a moment rich with promise" to use American strength as "a force for good." Source: [|www.venturatoday.net/**presidents**.html] []

Bill Clinton

William Jefferson Clinton, the young President from Hope, Arkansas, succeeded where no other Democrat had since Franklin Roosevelt: he was reelected to a second term. Clinton also defied his critics by surviving an array of personal scandals, turning the greatest fiscal deficit in American history into a surplus, effectively using American force to stop the murderous "ethnic cleansing" wars in Bosnia and Kosovo, and presiding over the greatest level of economic prosperity since the early 1960s. He also endured unrelenting personal attacks from the right-wing of the Republican Party, the loss of Congress to the Republicans for the first time in forty years, and a humiliating but unsuccessful impeachment trial by the U.S. Senate. He fashioned himself as a "New Democrat" and has frequently been referred to as the "Comeback Kid." Few Presidents have both raised more questions about the standing of the presidency and simultaneously presided over a longer period of sustained prosperity.
