RAX Vintage Revives 90s Fashion Nostalgia in Seattle

Seattle's RAX vintage market, co-owned by Jason Figueroa, Sebastian Figueroa, and Santiago, is gaining attention for its nostalgic offering of 1990s and early 2000s fashion, highlighting trends like JNCOs and baggy clothes. Opened seven months ago in the U District, RAX embraces a 'hidden' vibe, aiming to provide value to visitors by bringing a piece of their past to the forefront. Meanwhile, Mary Quant, the iconic designer who popularized the miniskirt in the 1960s, is being celebrated at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower in London for the 60th anniversary of her creation, showcasing her impact on fashion and culture. The exhibition coincides with London Fashion Week and features one of her original designs, further solidifying her legacy intertwined with royalty and the rebellious spirit of the era. Fashion continues to evolve, reflecting societal changes, with current trends influenced by movements like fast fashion and sustainability, as past styles are reinterpreted for modern expression. These narratives demonstrate fashion's role as a dynamic form of communication and self-identity across different eras.
