This fabulously fun nineties throwback lookbook by Wildfox Couture takes its inspiration from the classic teen flick Clueless.
Wildfox got together with designers such as Alice + Olivia and Calvin Klein to channel the unforgettable characters of Cher, Dionne and Tai for its Spring 2013 collection.
The collection, as you would expect, features a lot of skater style scandalously short skirts, knee high stockings and shirts with slogans like "Need Lift to the Mall" and "Shopping is my Cardio." We're sure Cher's father Mel would have something to say about these!
The shoot titled 'We're the Kids in America' captures the valley girl lifestyle exemplified by these privileged West Coast teens.
Designer Kimberly Gordon explains, "I have always wanted to express something creatively that is more than just fashion, it’s a feeling, a lifestyle, it’s about being a girl."
