December 1990 Fashion Etc.: Denim, Body Image & The World’s First Bath Puffs

Start listening

Some of the readers in charge of fashion freak it, like stylist Daisy von Furthโ€™s fun and quirky denim looks. Others, like Shelly Franklin, went to a Gap and grabbed the first seven garments she saw. The two co-exist uneasily over 12 pages in the December 1990 issueโ€™s one and only fashion feature. (Which stylist did you prefer? Tell us at 720-SASSY-GO!) Beyond that, we get a makeup enthusiast getting mentored by an expert; an essay about how weight-related beauty standards change over time, an absolutely cuckoo Making It project, and much much more. Put down your new-fangled bath puff and listen!
