We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.
Will the new '90210' be as fashion-centric as 'Gossip Girl?'
I think it’s fair to say that when Sex and the City went off the air in 2004, it left a void in the televised-fashion-show genre it created—a void almost as massive as its costume budget. Gossip Girl has done a respectable job picking up the slack, utilizing wardrobe as a never-ending storyline in and of itself. And while I do think Gossip Girl is great, its setting and sartorial choices are strictly East Coast.
That’s where 90210 comes in. This fall, the reincarnation of the prime-time teen drama popular through the entire ’90s is L.A.’s only foreseeable hope for a fashion-centric program that tells the story of our aesthetic. The original 90210 set its fair share of trends—Jason Priestley’s pompadour, Luke Perry’s leather jacket, Shannen Doherty’s tights—so here’s hoping new 90210 can once again showcase the city and its fashion-forward inhabitants. If not, we’ll have to make due with the L.A. story arc Gossip Girl will inevitably employ.
