We’re so blessed with a double dose of @michellepfeifferofficial on Margo’s Got Money Troubles and The Madison, so the perfect excuse for a nostalgic double feature. For this week’s issue, @mirrengc and I take a look back on our favorite Michelle Pfeiffer style moments that still influence us today. Plus, an honorable mention involving the ‘90s and Coolio. 🔗 Link in bio + Stories
Aaand Whatever Nevermind is back — and coming back strong with some generational beefs. Or more accurately, the divides and connections expressed through style in season two of ‘Beef.’
Costume designer @olgamill breaks down the psychology behind it all—from Cailee Spaeny’s Gen Z “uniform” for a little extortion to Oscar Isaac’s midlife-crisis furry vest. 🔗 Link in bio + Stories

The eternally stylish @juliettelewis designed a @wearewildfang collab and tells us all about it! She also stars in the fashion campaign that brings back memories of her iconic 90s road trip movies. (She even drives a muscle car in real life!) 🔗 Link in bio + Stories

It’s the Whatever Nevermind x @theministryofpopculture team-up, part deux! This time, @fawnianewyork and @kirthanaramisetti break down the 7 small- and big-screen ’90s characters they’re still dressing like today — from Rachel Green to Hilary Banks to Cher Horowitz — and why their style still hits. (Hint: It’s more than just the clothes — and yes, we name the costume designers!) 🔗 Link in bio + Stories

From “My So-Called Life” to “Charlie’s Angels,” here’s how we’d recast classic shows with today’s talent.

It’s not an Oscar hangover — it’s an extended afterglow, because this has been the most Gen X awards season ever! Let’s revisit the top 7 Gen X moments from the 98th Academy Awards — from Spike Lee’s ode to ’90s fashion and media to Amy Madigan and her WINNER’s suit to two Bill Pullmans. 🔗 Link in bio + Stories

Oscar nominee and “Field of Dreams” icon Amy Madigan has been absolutely RULING awards season with her stellar suit game. So @fawnianewyork jumped on Zoom with her stylist and Gen X fashion whisperer @andrewgelwicks — he’s styled Molly Ringwald, SJP, Rosie Perez, and the late great Catherine O’Hara — to talk about how the duo keep outdoing themselves on the red carpet.
Yes, Andrew shared a few Oscars teasers, too… 👀 🔗 Link in bio + Stories
It’s a Gen X awards season takeover! The @aarp party was the place to be, Oscar nominees Ethan Hawke and Amy Madigan rule the red carpet, Michael B. Jordan is actually an honorary Gen X-er (!!!).
@fawnianewyork caught up with award season experts @tylercoates@nekesamumbi@asianavclub to talk about why — from the legendary nominees to the killer fashion to the 🎥. 🔗 Link in bio + Stories

For the Feb. bonus issue, @fawnianewyork spoke to “Severance” star Britt Lower’s hairstylist — and reformed mullet-head Kenna Kennor @kennaland_brooklyn — about why the modern mullet (yes, the one your boyfriends have) is actually very ‘80s after all.
Swipe for some nostalgic mullet moments, too — you’re welcome! 🔗 Link in bio + Stories

“Dark Winds” Season 4 is out! Lt. Joe Leaphorn is a Gen X man going through it, ’70s style — and actor/producer @zahnmcclarnon makes his directorial debut with Episode 2 (congrats and also very X-coded!). We talked about it all, including acting alongside generational greats like “Run Lola Run”’s Franka Potente and getting directing advice from late EP Robert Redford. 🔗 Link in bio + Stories — plus a fun anecdote about “Reservation Dogs” showrunner @sterlinharjo
