Nothing anchors a time quite like style. For V.F.’s September issue, @LeahFayeC enlisted stylists, critics, and other fashionable friends to look back on the trends that defined the turn of the century: vntyfr.com/AleGSQR
Stylist and designer @MisaHylton reveals @MissyElliott gave her the idea for the jumpsuit @LilKim wore to the 1999 VMAs. “It was such a liberating moment for women,” adds @JuneAmbrose. “It was a Gloria Steinem moment.”

From Britney and Justin to Björk, @RobinGivhan points out that “so-called good style” was no longer the ultimate goal. “The ultimate goal was about being memorable.”

Still, “craziness,” @EvanRossKatz notes, was once scoffed at when it came to red carpet fashion. One wouldn’t need to look much further than Céline Dion’s John Galliano tuxedo to see that. But now? “It’s celebrated, as it should be.”
And beyond Hollywood? “That pink pantsuit was game changing,” @RobinGivhan says of the way Hillary Clinton politicized fashion. “To me, it was warrior clothing.”
