This ‘How Pretty’ fashion spread is from the April 1994 issue of Sassy Magazine and yet it feels so utterly current. I saw plenty (PLENTY) of that second look all over Coachella 2013 this year.
HEY HEY NEWS UPDATE!
Jane Pratt knows the SassyScans tumblr exists!
Those of you following along or who actually existed during the 90s will know Jane Pratt was the editor of Sassy Magazine during its glory years. After her run at Sassy, she went on to be the editor of Jane magazine and now is the empress of xoJane.com.
Ms. Pratt and the lovely lasses at xoJane.com sent over this Polaroid from the classique Sassy days, plus this note:
I love what you guys are doing. Here’s a Polaroid of an aspiring model that came up to the Sassy offices I wanted to submit.

Adrienne Shelly was one of the goddesses of 1990s indie cinema, starring in Hal Hartley’s The Unbelievable Truth and Trust before moving on to her own directing career. She wrote, directed and co-starred in Waitress, which was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Screenplay in 2007. Shelly was found murdered in her own apartment in 2006 and an award has been set up in her name by the Women Film Critics Circle, given to films that most passionately oppose violence against women.
