Archive is a fashion style and aesthetic that emerged in the late 2010s and early 2020s.  The term initially denoted the use of clothing associated with past collections by legendary designers and brands such as Raf Simmons, If Six Was Nine or Hysteric Glamour. Though later evolved to encompass a specific style influenced by Japanese fashion subcultures such as Visual Kei and became closely associated with the 2020s underground rap scene.
