Fashion month is drawing to a close. So, it's time to take a moment to thank the Autumn/Winter 2019 shows in New York, London, Milan and Paris for blessing us with tiny bags, envy-inducing street style and, even, Barry Manilow performing 'Copacabana' on the Michael Kors runway.

As much as new trends have emerged from this season's catwalks, there have also been references to one of fashion and pop culture's most iconic decades: The nineties.

This is the era that the Spice Girls announce a reunion and millennials are watching Friends for the first time thanks to Netflix, Christy Turlington returned to the catwalk (for Marc Jacobs in New York) and we saw bucket hats make a comeback on every single model at the Dior PFW show.

To celebrate these throwback moments, we look back at our favourite fashion month images from the nineties, both on and off the runway.
