Vintage and Retro - it's the way forward!

With the recent surge in interest in the 1970s, with many high street stores using it as inspiration for their SS11 collections, I thought i'd have a look at what started it all off - the fashion from the decade itself.

Many people consider the 1970's to be the decade that fashion forgot. I think the opposite. This was the decade of experimentation, being an individual and luxury fabrics and textiles.
The decade of disco fever brought us platform heels, vibrant patterns, hot pants and sequins, and lots of it. So why shouldn't we celebrate the seventies?
Vintage stores today are full of bargain finds from day's gone by, and the picture here shows just a few finds you can get if you have a look on these websites - all orginal vintage from the 1970s. Here in West Yorkshire there are loads of vintage stores especially in Leeds, Harrogate and York.

So grab your platforms, your (faux) fur coat and hot pants - and get dancing on that light up dancefloor!
