Jamiroquai – Virtual Insanity
A deep blue XL jumper, oversized trousers, ultra-simple sneakers and, of course, a crazy-big hat. That was all it took for Jamiroquai to capture the essence of the decade in his own cool way.
Lil’ Kim – Crush On You
Style icons Lil’ Kim and Aaliyah rock their personalities in full colour with matching head-to-toe looks in the “Crush On You” video. Red, yellow, green and blue burn their pop shades into our retinas forever.
Fugees – Killing Me Softly
Who can forget Lauryn Hill’s performance of this iconic cover at the 1996 MTV Movie Awards, accompanied by Roberta Flack, the original singer of this soul classic? We still dream of her head-to-toe pale pink skirt and crop top ensemble for this summer.
Daft Punk – Homework
This first studio album marked the stratospheric impact of the French duo with “Da Funk”, “Alive” and “Around the World”. Incognito T-shirts and embroidered satin bomber jackets became the regulation uniforms of club kids raised on electro. We miss them already.
Pulp – Common People
Between disenchanted lyrics and an analysis of social classes, Jarvis Cocker gets us dancing to his pop hit tinged with melancholy. Everyday clothes, a mix of vintage colours… This video has all the right ingredients to keep us moving to this catchy and nostalgic song.
