In an unexpected turn of events, off-duty models are turning to Garth Algar from cult ’90s film Wayne’s World for style inspiration. Unexpected, yes, but not undeserved – Garth’s own brand of ’90s undone chic is so hot, that if it was a president, it would be Babe-raham Lincoln.
Sceptical? Don’t be – as Garth once said, ‘It’s like a new pair of underwear: at first, it’s constrictive, but after a while it becomes a part of you.’
1. The Bleached Hair
I’m not talking highlights here – this all-over-bleached look smacks of a DIY bathroom sink job. Hanne Gaby has gone full Garth with ’90s texture (read: frizz), a bit of fluffy volume, and a choppy fringe. Garth = the original blond ambition.
2. The Metal Tee
Garth at his most foxy, and it seems that I’m not the only one that thinks so. Tees emblazones with vintage band decals and skateboarding mag Thrasher's logo got papped more than a lot of other heavily-papped things this fashion month. Anti-fashion for the most fashionable.
3. The Helmet
Garth’s helmet is way cooler, as it has the added Inspector Gadget dimension, but you know you’ve made it as a model when you get couriered around Paris on the back of a motorbike.
4. The Plaid Shirt
Is this actually the same shirt? I think this might actually be the same shirt.
5. The Sports Jersey
All-American Garth. I don’t actually know the difference between these sports jerseys, but I know that Garth and his model army would dominate on the field. Pitch? Field. Ground. Field. Court.
6. The Car Bonnet
HAHAHA Garth, you are so crazy. Why are you sitting on the bonnet of that car? But LOLOLOL, you look so cool and anti-establishment, maybe this would make a good street-style pose?
7. The Distressed Denim
You’ll know that you’ve reached peak Garth when the gentle chafing of stonewashed denim between your thighs makes you want to skip along the street arm-in-arm with Mike Myers. Also, man bag alert.
