Can you believe we’ve reached the 1970s era of the movie installment of Fashion on Film? We’ve done the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, and now it’s time for the 70s. Now this is how the 1970s is going to work. You had two distinct movements going on at the same time that were completely different from one another. On the one hand, you had the hippie and western movements that were reflected both in real life and on film, and then on the completely opposite end, you had the disco/Vegas movement that completely took on a life of its own.
Since these two fashion movements are as opposite as left and right, we’ve got to do them individually. We’re starting with the hippie and western, and then next time around we’ll do disco. Fun huh? Let’s get started.
