Or wearing clothes they think people wore in the 70s. Has anyone noticed this trend? Maybe it's just a California thing but I am have started see lots of teenage/college age girls trying emulate the whole hippy look(think cochella) curious to see what who actually lived in the 70s think.
IDK, but the European & some American designers and higher-end dept. stores are selling bell-bottoms. Contemporary ones, not imitation old ones. I guess they saw a trend forming, and jumped on it.
It seems to me that clothes from the early 90's are coming back in style. On Thanksgiving my 21 year old daughter was wearing a baby doll type dress with combat boots and a choker and my 16 year old old niece was wearing a flannel shirt and ripped jeans. Their clothes reminded me of something Alicia Silverstone wore in Clueless and Courtney Love wore back in the grunge days.
That babydoll thing came out of Korea (look at what the dancers are wearing in the original "Gangnam Style" vid), and took over Europe a few years back. Oversized babydoll blouses with shorts so short they look like underwear. Maybe it's a more modest variation of that you saw. I doubt the underwear look would catch on in the US.
The early 70s were one thing, but by 1976 or so things were changing. The hippie look was pretty much gone, and the disco look began to influence things. All things considered, the 70s were a good time.
Depends on which half of the 70's. Much has been mentioned already, but there was a notable difference between the two halves. The first half had more of the hippie'ish styles, and even the 'granny look' was popular for a while. Floppy hats. Colors were bright or vivid. True about fringe leather vests - I had one, myself. Men had their leisure suits (not all looked bad). Hairstyles ranged from long and wild to those dog-awful shag cuts with rat tails.
Second half switched to earth tones, weird dresses, and pageboy or Toni Tenille haircuts (YUCK!). Disco started to take some effect in fashion, though not as much as in the early-80's. These five years were, to me, the most boring time for fashion ever.
Farrah had feathered hair too. Hers was not as noticeable as straighter versions of the cut, but the feathered layers were there. I had a 'farrah' cut and the look depended entirely on whether or not I used my blow dryer and the size of the barrel used on my curling iron.
