- As the Swinging Sixties turned into the 1970s, the influence of boutique stores and diffusion lines made ready-to-wear clothing increasingly accessible. New synthetic fabrics meant that fashionable styles could be bought at any price point. So pervasive were these materials that the seventies became known as the “Polyester Decade.” The decade saw a wide range of popular styles: from the early prairie dresses influenced by hippie fashion, to the flashy party wear worn to disco nightclubs, to the rise of athletic wear as the decade looked towards the 1980s, the seventies was a decade that explored fashion, but also looked back.
Seventies fashion began with a continuation of the late 1960s hippie style. In the early 1970s, this meant an emphasis on handmade materials and decorations. While the hippies of the sixties had embraced these items as a way of rejecting mainstream fashion, designers in the early seventies began to incorporate them into their high fashion collections. Patchwork, crochet and knitting, embroidery were among the details used by designers. The silk evening gown by Zandra Rhodes shows how patterns and the loose, flowing quality of the hippie style crept into high fashion. “Quilting, felting, dyeing, beading, smocking, leather craft and hand-painted fabrics were also reclaimed from craft fairs for the fashion world,” says Daniel Milford-Cottam in Fashion in the 1970s. The styles from Seventeen magazine show an influence from homemade crafts in the embroidered patterns while being made in the decade’s signature polyester.
Along with an emphasis on handmade crafts, seventies designers looked to the past for inspiration. A pervasive style of the early 1970s was the prairie dress. Midi-length with flounces and delicate floral patterns, these dresses were popularized by designers and retailers like Gunne Sax and Bill Gibb. The style bore a resemblance to Victorian styles while also feeling not dissimilar to some of the hippie styles of the late 1960s
OMG! Some of this designer's comments sound so offensively shocking in 2024! The host is a bit much as well. Thank God for Susan Taylor! She's always been ahead of her time. She's Ever So Graceful, knowledgeable, and Regal. I truly enjoyed watching! Thanks for sharing!
He was such an A-hole. Susan, thankfully, countered his disgusting comments
Yes awful
I had the pleasure of meting Miss Taylor many years ago. She was nice and was also very easy to talk with. As a young historian it was a pleasure.
I agree. The host interrupts all the time. She is annoying . The designer is annoying as well
My Momma was a streamstress. She used to sew for a lot of people, especially when they wanted something out the department store that they couldn't afford, but she would make it for them. She even sewed for wedding parties, but stopped when one bride had 14 bridesmaids. At one point, she worked as a seamstress for Casual Corner, but I think she quit because of the hateful manager. She often put me in local fashion shows when I was little. We went to the beauty shop every two weeks to get our hair done, and she had a head full of pretty hair. I was always dressed soo nice when I was young. I even won Best Dressed as a freshman in high school, but I believe my winning caused some of controversy because the school removed the Best Dressed category after my winning. It had been a category since the 70s.
Wow, I was a little girl during the 1970s. My Parent's and their Parent's Generation were Elegantly dressed. Yesterday I was looking at my Family Album Gem Photos from the 1930s all the way up towards the earlier 1990s. Fabulously Fashionable and I wished we had a Time Machine.
This was soo great to watch to see how are black women dressed an what fashion was for us back then ...
Great upload
Susan Taylor! ❤😍👍🏼👏🏽
His fashions are really for any body type...better than yoga pants everywhere and belly tops.
It seems a lot like what's trending today: Monochromatic looks, Metallics during the day, oversized clothes, that dark romance look with the black lace dress, sweatshirts under blazers, ensembles that can be worn multiple different ways (capsule wardrobes). Thank you Susan Taylor for your class, for your wit and for defending the curvier body types!
People have it BACKWARDS when it comes to maintaining a healthy weight.
More often than not, weight gain is a SYMPTOM brought on by a deeper medical condition. In a lot of cases, PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE is CAUSING WEIGHT GAIN. It's HARDLY EVER a person "JUST BEING LAZY".
Also the unhealthy foods that people are eating daily. Eating Restaurant Meals that are unhealthy. And not exercising if they are able bodied towards working out. Honestly people were slimmer Years ago.
Previous generations all had heath and financial and oppressive issues. They weren’t fat, in denial about being fat, didn’t pretend it was attractive, and didn’t shame people who weren’t attracted to fat. They understood reality and just accepted they were fat.
@amgirl4286 I was a teenager in the 70s. Out of 30 teenagers or younger adults in the neighborhood, only 2 were obese that I remembered. It was just a different time.
@@thankthelord4536 yes I know a small minority of us have issue but the reality is we eat more, eat more junk, move less. It’s not rocket science.
I would love to see more vintage fashion footage if you have it😍👠😍❤
Susan has the same hair style for all these decades.
