Cigarette in hand, nipples exposed and ears throbbing with the pro-drug culture Trance club classics. 90's minimalism in full swing and centre of it all none other than herion-chic queen Kate Moss. Everyone remembers when Moss famously hit the 90's clubbing scene in a braless silver Liza Bruce Spaghetti Strap Dress right? A spectacular middle finger to the try-hards, the fashion conscious wannabes and well within the grunge ideology of the era. Hair pulled back, black knickers on show, stroke of mascara and topped off with a see-through dress. A truly effortless ensemble. Minimalism (or mnmlsm for the avid fans) is a concept which flourished in 90s fashion with a surge of neutral shifts, clean cut basics and straight-edged classics. All hail Calvin Klein's slip dresses such as the '97 clueless mini dress, Jil Sander's '96 simple monochrome pieces and Helmut Lang's sharp tailoring, pioneers for all those out and proud basic bitches.
Quite literally as simple as black and white, Neville and Wainwright sent their S/S '14 monochrome models down the runway and with a quick pout and a fearless nod, Rag & Bone elegantly revived 90s minimalism. Complete with trademark slouched boyfriend trousers, traditional military tailoring and newly adopted feminine cuts in the form of those old familiar slip dresses.

If you have a spare few hundred lying around Rag & Bone is your one way ticket to achieving those minimalist vibes and becoming a REAL basic bitch. Above are a few I have picked out myself for when I win the lottery... An amalgamation of simplicity and boldness, this trend presents an atmosphere of unintentional maturity, as if you just effortlessly stumbled upon adulthood. In the words of Ludwig Miles van der Rohe, without a doubt, 'Less is more'.
In the spirit of basic bitches, I leave you on this note:
