Retrofficiel: Get '90s Fashion Inspiration from Linda Evangelista in Versace

Beyond being one of the original '90s supermodels, Linda Evangelista was one of the many muses of Gianni Versace. The late designer helped to pioneer the ultra-glamorous and flashy aesthetic that defines 1990s fashion, building a style empire inseparable from the image of La Dolce Vita. While no one could have known the future impact when Evangelista stepped out in a modern pantsuit (pictured above) in 1990, the look now perfectly illustrates the current craze for '90s fashion that we see today. 

When Evangelista stepped out in this look, she proved to be a pioneer of the mini-blazer, which is making a comeback. Deliciously elegant, the silhouette is marked by perfect timelessness, as versatile today as it was 30 years ago. The secret to achieving a similar effect? Simply combine quality textiles with an impeccable cut. Fabric choice is key to nailing an Evangelista-esque outfit, so don't overlook this important detail. Other than that, replicating the supermodel's iconic ensemble is pretty easy: find a cropped blazer that bares just the right amount of skin, then pair it with high-waisted pants and the cherry on top: an oversized belt. Below, find some of the chicest pieces on the market to help you achieve this '90s fashion aesthetic.
