CUSTOM KIT
Back to the 90’s
THE INSPIRATION
The 1990s were a transformative time in culture and fashion, and it is no surprise that the nostalgia for this era is still inspiring trends today. It was a time of experimentation, individualism, and expression through fashion, music, and art. The fashion trends of the 90s were unique and memorable, with bold colors, oversized silhouettes, and the popularization of streetwear.
Whitestone, a young company founded by a millennial who grew up in the 90s, has taken this nostalgia and turned it into something special. By tapping into the streetwear and 90s nostalgia trend, Whitestone has created a custom kit that evokes the feeling of comfort from the early days, while also keeping it modern and purposeful.
The kit features retro colors and styles that transport you back to the era of N’sync and Saved by the Bell reruns. The elevated and purposeful designs are perfect for modern-day use, whether you’re reading a book or going out with friends. The kit is not only stylish but also functional, making it a perfect addition to anyone’s wardrobe.
In today’s fast-paced world, where trends come and go in the blink of an eye, Whitestone’s custom kit is a refreshing reminder of a simpler time. It’s a time capsule of the 90s, but with a modern twist. It’s a testament to the enduring influence of the 90s on fashion, culture, and society, and a tribute to the power of nostalgia to bring comfort and joy in uncertain times.
