MCCARTNEY'S DESIGNS ARE COMING BACK

The 90's fashion style rocked the world and is still a trend in the 21st century but mixed with recent designs. Liana Satenstein, a fashion news writer for Vogue, proved the effect of the 90's creation in a recent article.

The article revealed that Satenstein had been collecting McCartney's designs. Satenstein's closet is filled with the designer's legendary fruit T-shirts— with freaky hands cupping boobs or bananas shaped as creepy and pineapple in the center of the chest.

She described a spicy, off-the-shoulder top and some zodiac T-shirts explaining that McCartney's time at Chloe "feels like what we need right now." According to Satenstein, McCartney brought what women love into the fashion house.
