70’s style leads the way…..

70’s  style leads the way…..

It is always hard to decide which trend will be the biggest at retail when sorting through thousands of runway images.  However, this season there is a clear winner. Designers all over the world are tapping into a 1970′s mood for Spring / Summer 2011.  I think fashion is always dictated by culture and what is happening in the world at large.  A bohemian movement has been surfacing for the past couple of years similar to the original movement forty years ago.  The 1970′s were about individuality and expression and fashion was a big part of the movement.  Within 1970′s fashion, there are several different classifications of style.  The bohemian hippies set trends with bell-bottoms and fringe, feathers and lace always projecting an easy ethereal vibe in their dress.  While the hippies were protesting, the city gals were getting glammed up at Studio 54.  The Dicso queens of the 1970′s set trends in the high-fashion world with sequins and shine, jumpsuits and platforms, and a bright colour palette of orange, purple and salmon.

For Spring Summer 2011 we saw all of these fashions re-introduced on the runway through a modern eye.  The runways were filled with fun colour combinations and slinky sexuality, luxurious fabrics and amazing embroidery, modern day pantsuits and gypsy silhouettes.   The 1970′s have always been my favorite decade and I am thrilled to be able to participate in the fashion full force for 2011. There are many more trends taken from the 1970′s  the tunic, transparency, full leg trousers, bow tie blouses, elongated blazers, lace, leopard prints and utilitarian denim.  Over the next couple of weeks I am going to go into each trend in detail.  But for the mean time look out for 70’s glamour at it’s best.
