I Heart the ’90s

Rosenmunns Spring Collection

Flannel. Dr. Martens. Parachute pants. The thought of a ’90s fashion revival seems as likely as a 90210 reunion.

Unless Rosenmunns is leading the charge.

Avant-garde design duo Sydney Rose Davies and Gigi Ashley Munns are giving ’90s styles new life with their edgy sophomore collection.

The minimalist line is made of up seven mix-and-match pieces in a palette of pastels, chambray, and navy silked linen. The Onblonde pants will pump you up: a sophisticated version of zubaz (a.k.a. bodybuilder pants — who knew?), they’re cut with a narrow leg. The purple, super-soft, thigh-grazing Grimace tee makes a strong case for revisiting the shoulder pad. As for the skin-tight Lycra mini and tank combo, well, Donna Martin could have rocked it in math class.

Better break out the Buns of Steel.

Available at Anica Boutique, 2418 Polk Street, between Filbert and Union Streets (415-447-2878 or anicaboutique.com). To see styles, go to rosenmunns.com.
