ABOUT:
Super Soakers and the game consoles Game Boy and PlayStation were the new at-home toys, as Super Mario World, Gran Turismo, and Sonic the Hedgehog were shaping the minds of all ages, gender, and interests everywhere.
Luxury brands were in demand: shoppers coveted Gucci footwear, a Louis Vuitton collaboration, a Hermes Birkin, or a Prada power suit. TWA and Continental Airlines still flew the airways and Volkswagen reimagined the Beetle.
It was a decade that seemed safely benign but was jammed with events and consumption on a grand scale, setting the stage for the 21st century.
Six chapters that cover a range of advertising, from food and fashion to entertainment and cars, All-American Ads of the ’90s is a must-have publication highlighting 1990s consumerism.
