This week we have been asked to research into the 1970's, covering a timeline, fashion subcultues, key designers and key trends. We were all given a specific area to look ito and mine consisted of Key trends.Within all theses aspects are links with legal, politcal, econimic, envionmental, socio-cultural, technolical and last of all competitve forces which can be found to dermine how all these 4 aspects.

I reasearched the net for secoundary facts that would help me find my primarary. I found various websites which illustarated that the 1970's was the party generation, with most colthes incorporating sparkles to catch the light. By day its all about clean yet voluminous silhouettes and earthy colour palettes. Below I have illustarted imags from my visit to 'Beyond Retro' Soho.

Early 70's - Hippie

The Hippie trend developed from America and spread around the world. It cosisted of lots of colour and pattern, flared trousers and belled sleeved shirts.




The Bay Cuity Rollers

Popular Scottishh Band during the 70's and music was a very big influence on fashion. The fashion cosisted of alot of tartan, three quarter length trousers and collarless jackets.




Disco

This fashion stage was all about passion and energy for muscic. Lots of lightweight fabrics were used to allow movement. Clothers incorporated alot of sequins, jumpsuits and hip-hugging bell bottoms.


Punk

This trend was introduced by Viviene Westwood , where the era finally turned their backs on frilly feminine clothing to more dark ripped clothing. The clothes suited those with a limited cash lifestyle and the graments were designed to attract attention.
