Revisiting the Dystopian Beauty of the ‘90s Animated Show, Aeon Flux

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

It makes sense that Aeon’s outfit is still popping up on social media and beyond, albeit randomly. Because while it is set in a ransacked, dystopian universe, the clothing seems also very modern. It’s also probably not completely far from what Hadid herself is wearing these days. Aeon’s signature is typically a long sleeve crop top in a dark shade of purple. (In it, her chest defies gravity and is always, well, pointing straight ahead with a purpose, just like Aeon herself.) Some details about her look are vaguely dominatrix-y, like an O-ring affixed to the middle section of her signature crop top, and she wears hiked-up thong underwear and shin-length boots that look so tight that they could be peeled off. We’ve seen nods to this style on recent runways, too, including Versace, Junya Watanabe, or Saint Laurent.

The brazen sauciness of Aeon all has to do with Chung’s prior experiences working in children’s television. (He worked on the show Rugrats). For him, Aeon Flux was a way to push himself in ways that he had been limited before, which ultimately trickled into the look of the character. “I’m sure some of this was venting and putting in gratuitous kinkiness,” he says. While that kinkiness can be subversive, at times it can be overt: In one episode, Aeon wears a chastity belt, which leaves little (or a lot!) to the imagination. But it’s all a way to draw people into the show. Aeon Flux plotlines have long been known to be what Chung describes as “morally ambiguous” and could sometimes be confusing. “Even if they [viewers] were confused about what was happening or that they were unsure about what they were watching in terms of the storyline, they would still be engaged visually, viscerally,” says Chung. “Everything was designed in a way to make her riveting visually something that would draw your attention.”

The sexiness has a purpose though. Aeon’s clothing was a way to show off the range of her body, the same way a dancer’s tight clothing reveals their form. If Chung were to choose layers of clothing, it would mean that he would have to illustrate and animate differently. “As an artist, what you find is it’s actually very difficult to draw realistic clothing, and even if you do it, your drawing then becomes more about what the character is wearing rather than the character itself,” says Chung. “It’s also another reason why you see, for example, in superhero comic books they wear skin-tight outfits. It is to show off the form of the body.” Chung was also inspired by the very naked images of the late Helmut Newton, known for his nude imagery and nods to Amazonian women. “That has one thing in common with the fashion world. The whole point of doing something like a Helmut Newton photo shoot is that you’re depicting scenes, which are kind of idealized and it’s not realistic,” says Chung. “It’s not trying to

Helena Christensen releasing 90s inspired clothing collection

Helena Christensen

Helena Christensen has teamed up with Anine Bing to launching a 1990s-inspired clothing line.

The 51-year-old Danish supermodel – who was one of the biggest catwalk stars of that decade – has worked with the designer, who is also from Denmark, to create an 11-piece capsule collection that is directly influenced by the style of that era,

Helena admits she only has “amazing” memories of that time and thinks the fashion for women during the 90s was unique and “powerful”.

Speaking to WWD, she said: “It was such a great time period for fashion. I only had amazing experiences from that time. I feel that the way women dressed at that time had a powerful feeling to it. There was a businesswoman aspect but in a laid-back way.”

The collection is to be released on November 10 and is comprised of T-shirts, tailoring, jeans, a bodysuit and a silk jumpsuit, and is priced from $99 (£75) to $499 (£380).

Helena and Anine worked on the range for over a year and overcame any challenges of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic by having meetings over Zoom and visiting each other at their homes.

Discussing the creative process, Helena said: “We just both brainstormed ideas of our own personal style and found a middle ground of what could work for both of us.”

Anine added: “She’s a little more experimental, a little more bohemian, relaxed in a way. I’m maybe a little more classic, but I also love rock ‘n’ roll. We tried to tie those two together.

“It’s been a super tough year for all of us, right, including myself. It’s been a wild year and a rollercoaster and super hard. I have many days being home crying, trying to figure out how to do this. And also being a mom, you know, doing homeschooling while designing and trying to run this company with so many employees.

“With that said, my goal with designing is to empower women, and I think that’s more important than ever that we feel strong and confident and believe in ourselves and be here for a better change.

“So, hopefully with this collaboration and my whole collection in general, I hope and think I will continue to empower women and feel like their best version of themselves during this crazy time. I’m a positive person, and I try to look positive on everything, even though it can be hard.”

Prada’s Endlessly Recyclable Nylon Jacket Brings ’90s Vibes Into the Future of Fashion

Welcome to the first installment of The Investment, a new regular column highlighting those pieces—a little pricier, a lot nicer, and entirely worth the money—that we can’t help but advocate for you owning. These are the things our editors love and respect. The picks with a story to tell and a real reason to exist. Looking to put your dollars in the right place? Here’s how.

It’s hard to imagine that a little black nylon backpack could have caused quite the stir it did in 1984, when Miuccia Prada first posited it as the new statement in minimalist luxury. Up to that point, luxury—in accessories especially—pretty much meant leather or nothing. It certainly did not mean nylon. But Miuccia’s intellectual finger stuck up at traditional, fixated notions of elegance not only suggested nylon as a new definition of luxury, it also brought a sense of minimalist utility that had all-too-often been absent from fashion.

When, for fall 1995, she ushered in her first men’s collection, the mania for Prada’s little triangle logo jumped the gender divide. In stark contrast to the glitzy, ’70s-inspired fashion that was elsewhere on the runway, Prada was pared-down, devoid of pattern or embellishment—a futurist’s uniform. And if to emphasize that this was not business as usual, Prada hired men who were not models, but serious actors, to create her first campaigns. Over four seasons John Malkovich, Tim Roth, Willem Dafoe, and Joaquin Phoenix effectively endorsed Prada as the modern, cool, thinking man’s label. And that black nylon was everywhere: From accessories to suits, it became a kind of shorthand for ’90s minimalism.

Sustainability now—and forever.

Last year a growing interest in sustainability in fashion brought about the launch of a new kind of nylon at Prada. It looked as felt the same as the old stuff, but this time it was 100 percent recycled. To debut this new cloth, Miuccia Prada chose to recycle some of her thinking, too, recreating six of the best-selling men’s and women’s styles from the ’90s. ReNylon, as the cloth is called in-house, is the result of a lengthy collaboration between Prada and Italian yarn producer Aquafil. It is made from gathered plastic fishing nets, ocean flotsam, and textile fiber waste like carpets from landfills that are recycled in Italy and Slovenia. Aquafil first breaks down, and then re-polymerizes, the materials, spinning the monofilaments into new nylon yarn. Last year Aquafil estimated that for every 10,000 tons of Econyl produced from recycled plastics, 70,000 barrels of petroleum would be saved.
