Ten years ago, at the launch of Vogue Runway, there were a series of articles published about the ’90s. Sarah Mower contributed a piece on the lasting impact of Helmut Lang, Lynn Yaeger penned an ode to grunge, and Luke Leitch shared his recollections of the decade’s menswear (shout-out for warehouse-sale Maharishi!). A quick survey of the fall 2025 trends includes both 1980s Working Girl chic and aughts-era indie sleaze. But the ’90s reign supreme, and with incoming creative directors at Gucci, Versace, and Maison Margiela, three brands at their It-est in those years, the ’90s aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

On today’s episode of Vogue’s Run-Through podcast, Mark Holgate, Luke Leitch, and Nicole Phelps—proud Gen X-ers—discuss the persistence of the ’90s phenomenon and make the case for a new kind of futurism.

Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.
