The suits were definitely stunning. I guess they were going for a casual look with the turtlenecks. It could have been worse. They could have put him in some MC Hammer pants or acid washed overalls (it was the stlye back then). Frankly, I'm pretty happy that they stayed away from anything that would really give away the times. As for the tan, someone should have told Ben Cross that he wasn't starring on Beverly Hills 90210. A vampire with a tan? I guess that's what you get when you move Collinsport to Cali. We're lucky that Donna Martin and Color Me Badd didn't show up.I think they did a rather classy job with the styles in the 90s DS revival. You can still watch the show and not feel like it's 1991.I agree the '91 clothes were definitely classy, except for when they put Barnabas in a turtleneck (I think he looked much better in the suit & tie). They also gave Barn a tan! How can a vampire have a tan?! He had the LA "beach-bum" look goin'!
people often complain about the d.s. styles but i love them.
the fashion was one of the first things that attracted me to the show.i was like "why do these women who live in this nowhere town in maine have up-to-the-minute sixties fashions and hairdo's?"(thanks ohrbach's ).i love how stiff the fabrics are.some of the dresses look like they could stand up on there own.and the color combinations are insane!(please don't forget maggie's "warhol" inspired floral-print quilted maxiskirt).
as a child of the 1970's there was a moment that me,my sister and my mom all had the same "dorothy hammill" style bowl cut.the sixties styles are way better!
