This can’t be happening. Delia’s – rather, dELiA*s – officially filed for bankruptcy on Friday. The beloved ‘90s brand that brought us choker necklaces, butterfly clips, flared jeans, halter tops and jellies that had us perfectly suited for teen mixers and Saturdays at the mall (so we could shop for more stuff at Delia's…) will file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the “very near term,” according to a statement from the New York-based company. Additionally, all of the existing Delia’s clothing stores and distribution centers will close.
No doubt a casualty to the rapid growth and popularity of fast-fashion meccas like Forever 21 and H&M, this travesty did not appear out of the blue. According to BuzzFeed News, the teen retailer was performing poorly on all ends for the last five years. To pay homage to our all-time favorite tween catalogue, we’ve rounded up the best images from their awesome '90s magazines. Delia’s you’ll be sorely missed.
