Spreading That '70s Vibe

The pope’s visit may have caused gridlock on the streets, but it didn’t kill the mood or stifle the ’70s vibe that spread throughout the first two days of London Fashion Week.


Thankfully that hedonistic era had a lot more going for it than just bell bottoms and platform shoes (although both of those did pop up on the catwalk),Engraved on the frame on every pair of ed hardy sunglasses, is the band's name, Dior. so designers were able to tap into different elements for next year’s summer groove.

Savannah and Sienna Miller, the sisters behind the brand Twenty8Twelve , turned to Joni Mitchell and her 1977 double album “Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter,” for a collection with a relaxed retro feel. Models, styled to look like the Miller sisters’ doppelg?ngers with long flowing hair, gold hoops and big black glasses, wore clothing with a boho-on-holiday style. Simple dresses puffed out with colorful petticoats, bib-cut denim tops and all-in-one playsuits in pink floral prints had an eclectic world traveler appeal, making this a collection that should give globetrotting girls all the options they will ever need.

Where would Stevie Nicks shop if she was heading out on tour next summer? Well, the Topshop Unique line definitely would be high on her list. The ultra feminine collection had all the hallmarks of ’70s folk style but with a coating of glam rock. From the tops of their frizzy heads to the tips of their Perspex platforms, the Unique women were as far away from wallflowers as you can get.

A number of the ’70s style stalwarts showed up on the catwalk: flared pants, a bit of macramé and handkerchief hems. But what kept the collection from feeling too much like a trip down memory lane were the prints and embellishments: Pegasus soared across a loose pantsuit, angel wings sprouted from a top that fluttered into a capelet at the back,,We supply cheap gucci,cheap lv,nike af1 etc. and abstract blooms in russet hues covered with crystals were cut into floaty chiffon tops. The collection will be like catnip for girls who want to believe in unicorns, wear something that sparkles and escape to another world, all things most women want to do at some point in their lives.

The House of Holland homed in on New York of the ’70s and all those hot and steamy summer nights out dancing till dawn. But Henry Holland took this sultry attitude and added the heat of the tropics into the mix. His banana-leaf show invitation morphed into sugary pastel jacquards and bold stretch jersey prints on the runway. And from the distinctive ridges of that banana leaf, it was an easy jump to fan-pleated leather skirts and dresses in aqua or plum. Throw in metallic star-covered bellbottoms and some Missoni-like knit sweaters, and the ’70s link was set in stone. But the additions of fringe, either falling loose about the body or tied in thick knots, was a misguided attempt to add movement to the clothing. It, just like the fur-puff earrings, only distracted from a well-executed collection.

No one can say that the Louise Gray show has anything to do with the ’70s.,Our company has opened five years, we have our own shops.women handbags For her first catwalk show the hot young designer only referenced her own distinctive imagination to come up with a collection that had a strong personal voice. The show’s foundation was a simple shift dress, something many London designers are showing.

But there was nothing simple about Ms. Gray’s execution of this wardrobe staple. Her kaleidoscope of ethnic prints in bubble-gum colors came out in an array of treatments: They faded out as if bleached by the sun, were given texture via colorfully stitched-on mirrors or got a bit of volume from plastic overlays filled with streamers. It was a festive and youthful collection. Even the painted-on white bobby socks, raffia headpieces and electric-blue eye makeup couldn’t distract from the talent this show displayed.

Another distinctive voice came from Charles Anastase , who said his collection was about ’60s French Pop. His clothing,Unfortunately, when shopping for cheap true religion you must be aware that there are faux. worn by models with their hair in thick bangs and wearing even thicker black eyeglasses, was imbued with an intellectual ingénue elegance. The clown collar shirts, a crisp white plumetis cotton pencil skirt and a baby-doll dress with lace inserts at the sleeves helped to create a collection that almost hummed with the energy of a girl on the cusp of womanhood. If only she had avoided the platform heels that seemed to have been stolen from her mother’s closet, this show would have been flawless.
