It s the summer of Spice

It was a summer to remember. A time of optimism and hedonism, royal scandal and political unrest, when the nation waited with baited breath to see if football would indeed come home. A time of sartorial confusion, when cropped tops and chunky trainers reigned supreme, cycling shorts were legitimate eveningwear and maximalism staged a long-overdue comeback.
No, not the #hotvaxsummer of 2021 – although the similarities are stark, given that every girls’ night out just now includes at least one person in a tracksuit and another in bodycon and heels – but 1996. Aka: the summer of Spice.

t’s common these days to hear that a particular style of furniture, colour or fabric is “in” or “out”. Usually, the speaker is referring to the fleeting trends that come and go with the seasons; those that will resurface next AW or may roll around again in a few decades, such as the super-Seventies statement carpet revival or the return of electric eighties neon. However, some furniture falls out of favour for longer than a mere lifetime, returning only in rare, mirage-like glimpses in rooms considered eccentric, quirky, or (gasp) old-fashioned.
