The kidz got style: Another Bad Creation
In 1991, when Michael Bivins wasn’t killing us with New Edition, or unleashing the perennial dancefloor jam ‘Poison’ with Bell Biv Devoe, he was masterminding a stream of other hit New Jack Swingers. For the early 90s tweeners, Another Bad Creation, or ABC for those in the know, was the business. They had the coolest hair styles, graffed-up dungarees, fly dance moves, girls(!), and they succeeded where six years later Aaron Carter would fail miserably: being prepubescently badass.
This is all explained simply by checking out their video for their biggest tune ‘Iesha’:
If you were in any doubt about the BBD/ABC connection…
…the matching hats are full proof evidence.
Check out the high top/orange shirt/dungarees combo in the back – one side unclipped of course.
Followed by customized jeans
…and waistcoasts for the girls – whose hairclip, by the way, I covet.

Mixed Race Barbie likes 90s gear
Meet “Trichelle” … she comes complete with fanny pack, graphic print leggings, chunky gold necklace and hoops. Work It! I think her boyfriend Darren is going for the classic Ice Cube look.
