The 70s revival

It’s been all over the spring collections runways. And it’s taken over the streets as well. The relaxed ’70s glamour has a big comeback. There is just something so carefree and fun about this style, maybe because it emerged in a decade when the democratization of fashion was in full swing. The flared jeans, the floppy hats, oversized sunglasses and silk bow blouses are my very personal pieces of choice, as I prefer the sophisticated look to the boho look. And for an extra glam, there is the utmost luxurious and stylish inspiration, the ’70s fashion of Yves Saint Laurent, the one who brought sheer clothing and pussy-bow blouses in fashion, among other numerous innovations. Are you already embracing this huge spring trend? Wishing you a great new week!

The hat, in blushing shades, so pretty and refreshing.

How can we overlook the streamlining effect of the flared jeans? Flattering and stylish.

The bow, for a plus of femininity.

A few scoops of style, fashion and design: “She was hypnotically watchable, and when the part and the personality coincided, she was untouchable.” Remembering Elizabeth Taylor / point of view: models are too skinny, too sad And isn’t Hervé Léger right?/ look of the week : don’t you love it?/ a look at Elin Kling’s apartment / a classy and fabulous combination: burgundy and slate gray / a little wardrobe wisdom from Edith Head / retro glamour beauty / Carine Roitfeld for Barneys / as a film and fashion lover, I find this book a must-have and must-read

Hi Ada! Definitely! I’m really love the 70’s resurgence! I don’t usually wear anything other than leggings or skinny jeans but those flare jeans are so tempting and they look really flattering! I also love the pictures of the pink floppy hats! Pretty! I really enjoyed the links too; I’m reading the Herve Leger interview now and his comment about models too skinny are kind of overreacting in my opinion. Oh, and I added the book “Dressed: A century of Hollywood Costume Design” to my wishlist! Great choice! Hope you’re feeling better and wishing you a great Monday! xoxoxoo

the 4th image is perfect. definitely my style. i don’t know if i could pull off the floppy hat, but i’m loving the wide-leg jeans + oversized clutches! your links are great too, btw – i thought a lot about leger’s comment on models. the cut put a pic of cindy crawford modeling leger in 1993 next to a leger model of today and it’s unreal to see the difference! hope you’re having a wonderful day, dear!

I love that floppy hat but fear I am too short to pull it off. Will contemplate.

The seventies fashion is absolutely my favorite style. I also love home accessories that have some seventies influence like Waylande Gregory Studios.
