Merry-Go-Round

1968–1996

Mall-fashion attitude in acid-wash.

The loud, trend-chasing mall clothing chain that dressed teenagers in whatever was on MTV that season — acid-wash denim, club gear, and going-out looks blasted with dance music and attitude. Fast fashion before the term existed, it lived and died on the trend cycle. Bankruptcy closed it in 1996.
