What happened in 1990s?

My group researches about 1990s fashion. I watched a BBC program which called Style on Trial:1990s to get an abstract knowledge of the decade. The keys are these.

Politic and Economic:
1990-Margaret Thatcher to John Major, severe recession effects fashion style (Minimalism) and high street/super market brands such like Topshop, Next and George flourish.
Sub Culture:
Musicians and Celebrities strongly influence to fashion brands. R&B, Hip Hop and Acid House. Counter-cultural (Tattoo and body piecing) and Burberry Chav.
Designers:
Alexander McQueen and John Galliano
Key trends:
Minimalism, then second hands (vintage?), Denim, Baggy style, Chunky shoes like Dr Martin and Platform.
