The 1970s was a decade which rocked the fashion world.

Ushered in on the coat-tails of the ’60s hippie sartorial statement,

the ’70s evolved into an era of fashion flamboyance:

a melting and melding of influences from every global corner.

…

 

 

It was an era of fervent political activism dominated by

increased anti-Vietnam War protests, anti-apartheid rallies

and the second wave in the surge of feminist advocacy.

Cries for global peace and people equality

were the earnest pleas of the ’70s generation.

It was a span of pure fashion fun

which spoke to the passions of a generation.

It was That ’70s Fashion Show.

 

…

A few people, garments, bits and things that made

the credit list of That ’70s Fashion Show:

…

Iconic Garments

Trouser-wear

During the high-stepping ’70s, trouser fashion had a definite leg up.

It is arguably the first decade during which women

uninhibitedly donned trousers for any occasion-  liberating!

 

(image from look.co.uk)

…

Later in the decade, actor John Travolta donned a white suit

to make cinema history with a big scene on the big screen-

 disco-dancing in the movie Saturday Night Fever.

The jumpsuit was the trouser fashion one-piece wonder.

Worn by ladies and gents, it was the ultimate in unisex wear.

Hot pants, which bared bottoms,

also had their moment in the spotlight.

However, it was the flared (wide-leg)  trousers

which became synonymous with ’70s fashion.

Trouser fashion combined with the free-spirited vibe of the era,

lent itself to unisex design and styling.

…

Mini, Midi, Maxi – More

Skirt hem lengths were a barometer of ’70s attitude:

up,  down and everything in between.

…

Introduced in the late 1960s,

purportedly by British designer Mary Quant-

the ’70s saw the mini hem inch its way further up the knee.

…

There was no skirting the issue:

the ’70s was a decade of fashion variety-

imbued with a little bit of everything.

…

Topsy Turvy

For the ladies, tops ran the gamut from the flowy peasant blouse-

inherited from the ’60s hippie fashion scene,

to the stretchy tight tube top trend.

Whatever suited ones fancy.

Designing Visions

There were several innovative designers whose clothing

seem to capture the prevailing social sentiments:

inclusivity, global awareness and global peace.

…

Fashion label, political tag

by Diane Von Furstenberg

Designed by Diane Von Furstenberg in 1972

the wrap dress seemed to fashion represent qualities expressed

by the then women’s movement:

unambiguous in intent, universal in appeal.

The DVF wrap dress became an iconic garment:

cut to compliment any size, any shape-

an “I’m Every Woman’ piece.

(image from fashionschooldaily.com):

DVF, wrap dress

…

Following a moral compass

by agnès b

French designer, agnès b (née Agnès Andrée Marguerite Troublé)

launched her clothing label in 1973.

Ever the idealist, she vowed

never to advertise-

considering it “immoral” to do so;

never to manufacture her clothing outside of France-

in effort to avoid participation in exploiting foreign labourers.

She promoted an idea of “democratic fashion”,

an accessibility of style choices.

Her design philosophy mirrored social sentiments of the time.

World Wide Fashion

by Kenzo

No one fused various ethnic elements into clothing constructs

better than Japanese designer, Kenzo Takada.

His collections on the Paris runway,

were an eclectic, cosmopolitan style.

(image from kenzoparfums.com):

Of global perspective

…

Fashion Romanticism

by designer Bill Gibb

and knitwear master Kaffe Fassett

 

Scottish designer Bill Gibb and American textile artist Kaffe Fassett

collaborated to create clothing, which embodied key ’70s leitmotif:

colourful, romantic, exotic.

To the design equation,

Gibb factored in the element of romance, fantasy

and Fassett ignited the colour explosion.

Accessorise me

At the bottom:  it’s a shoe in

The accessory of the decade was a pair of  platform shoes.

In the early 1970s platform shoes started with a quite slim sole.

As the decade progressed, this moved from ¼ inch up to about 4 inches-

an elevated status.

Worn with a pair of flared trousers, this look became

the iconic fashion image of the decade.

(image from examiner.com):

Made of felt wool, with or without a band

the floppy hat was s ’70s hat wear of choice

…

 

The ’70s fashion was invitation to a Mad Hatter’s Tea:

exciting, emotive, outrageous, surreal.

It was a time of a fashion revolution,

polyester ruled fabrication and bright colours held court.

There were ups and downs in hemlines;

a range of light-fit and loose-fit attire-

all elevated on platform shoes.

 

…

It was a monster mishmash of ideas.

It was fashion fun and then some.

…

 

Clothing serves as a potent visual tool.  Without a word uttered or action taken

the attire worn is the ‘opening act’ which one presents.  Words later spoken

and action later initiated are in the scenes that follow.

Stand up for your rights: Karen Walker, a/w 2014 (NYFW)

autumn/winter 2014, diversity in fashion, diversity on the runway, fashion as political message, fashion as social statement, Karen Walker, Kate Sheppard, New York Fashion Week - a/w 2014, New Zealand Suffragette Movement, women's trouser suit

Three aspects of Karen Walker’s a/w 2014 collection

promptly arrested my attention:

its inspiration:  the New Zealand suffragette movement

its clothing attitude:  the vibe, “I am confident”

its runway models:  of racial diversity

(image from zimbio.com):

designer Karen Walker

…

Karen Walker hails from New Zealand,

 which has the distinct honour of being the first country

in the world to grant women full voting rights.

This landmark law (1893) established New Zealand

as the beacon of suffragette efforts world-wide.

(image from nzhistory.net.nz):

Signatures on the Suffrage Petition, 1893

which was presented to the NZ Parliament 

…

New Zealand’s pioneering achievement set firm footing

on the first rung of the ladder towards

women’s  political and legal equality.

…

It was not until after WWI, that women in

the United Kingdom (1918- partial, 1928 -full)

and the United States (1920 – but not to Native American women)

finally gained voting rights.

…

(image arttel.co.nz):

Kate Sheppard, leader of the NZ suffragette movement

…

As a native New Zealander, Ms. Walker has much to be proud:

of past … NZ – a shining example in the annals of women’s political history

of present … her collection – shown during New York Fashion Week

…

Making a fashion statement

fashion and politics, fashion as political message, fashion as social statement, Katherine Hamnett, Margaret Thatcher - Katherine Hamnett photo, message clothing

Message clothing is an integral part of

contemporary fashion –

used to convey sentiment range from

angst to joy

frustration to motivation

apathy to awareness

silliness to seriousness

…

During the 1980s British designer

Katherine Hamnett

used her clothing t-shirt line as

platform to voice her political stances.

…

The photo of her 1984 meeting with the

then British Prime Minister

Margaret Thatcher

is iconic for its immediate recognisability.

Ms Hamnett t-shirt read:

“58% DON’T WANT PERSHING”

which was the public protest position

against stationing nuclear weapons in the U.K –

a bold statement

a bold action

…

(image from dazeddigital.com):

hamnett

…

Some say that Ms. Hamnett faced near bankruptcy,

following a financial audit she endured as punishment

for the embarrassment suffered by the

Thatcher government from the photo’s

widespread publication.

…

The activist designer is today

still at work using

 t-shirts as banners to generate

public awareness of issues,

which she regards as action-taking worthy –

her continued campaign against nuclear armament.

…

(image from theguardian.com):

Katharine Hamnett - with her NHS not Trident T-shirt

…

At almost 67 years old,  Ms.  Hamnett is preparing

for full re-launch of her design label  –

targeting a men’s line for a/w 2014.

One can only guess the reading on that.

Power dressing: roaring in the 1920s

1920s fashion, bobbed haircut, F. Scott Fitzgerald, fashion and film, fashion as social statement, flamboyant fashion, flapper fashion, revolutionary fashion, The Great Gatsby

The recent screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel

The Great Gatsby

(published in 1925)

has rekindled our love affair with fashion from the

 frolicking, fiery, fabulous

roaring ’20s.

The movie stars Leornardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby and

Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan.

…

(image from thestar.com):

…

It is a visual feast, set in an unparalleled era in America history:

from fashion to politics and everything else in between.

The costumes worn in the film, convey the liberating forces at work during this

dynamic period of social transition, which was championed by women.

…

(image from stagebeauty.net):

Previous to the Gatsby years of the mid ’20s, there

flourished an ideal image of beauty  …

the Gibson Girl.

Greatly admired during the late 19th to early 20th

century for a waif-like waist, S-curved form, full-

length skirts, long hair piled high,

corseted, bustled, ruffles and bows …

 Camille Clifford, actress and model for Gibson Girl illustrations

 

…

As the light of the Gibson Girl gradually faded, a New Woman emerged.

Unlike the Gibson Girl who was quietly predictable in dress and decorum,

this New Woman of the 1920s roared with a

force that was heard in the public arena:

in the workforce

at political rallies

in college classrooms

in suffrage demonstrations

on athletic fields

…

(image from officemuseum.com)

…

(image from americancivilwar.com):

…

(image from sozmoretumblr.com):

…

With the dawn of this new progressive era,

which saw women granted the vote in 1920,

fashion predictably reflected these liberating social changes.

Hemlines were raised, fluctuating from knee

to ankle length as trend dictated.

The accentuated waist disappeared,

freeing women of the  debilitating hourglass corset.

…

The garconne (French for boy) look became the rage:  shift-like drop-waist dresses,

with belts worn at the hips and bras underneath which flattened the breasts.

Hair was worn short in the new bobbed cut and nestled neatly under a cloche hat.

Dress was comparatively comfortable and oozed sleek sophistication, which was

punctuated  with colour, pattern and texture.

 

…

 

(image from slideshare.net):

…

As legs and feet were now on permanent display,

hosiery and shoes took on an elevated status

 and were colour coordinated to the outfit worn.

…

Trousers were also referenced as an integral piece

of the New Woman’s wardrobe.

…

(image from movpins.com):

The actress Elizabeth Debicki

in her role as the character Jordan Baker  (The Great Gatsby)

wearing  brown palazzo trousers

…

(image from intheseams.com):

During the war years (WWI -1914 – 1918),

many women worked in factory jobs, left vacant

as men were shipped off to war.  These women wore

trousers in the workplace and appreciated

its comfort and ease.  The revolutionary French designer

Coco Chanel (1883 -1971),

who frequently wore men’s trousers, designed casual-wear

trousers for women.  The trouser for women quickly went

from factory garb to fashion statement … Voila!

Above: Coco Chanel, feminist fashion maverick

…

Yet this was not enough for this heady scene.

Raised hemlines, trousers, bobbed haircuts …

what more could best encapsulate ’20s dress?

Ah yes…

Flapper Fashion

the New Woman had made her sartorial mark .

…

(image from womenfrom1920s.wikispaces.com):

…

F. Scott Fitzgerald aided in the popularisation of the term flapper.

He described her as, “lovely, expensive and about nineteen.”

Flappers were young women who unlike their

Gibson Girl predecessors, shockingly challenged conventions.

There seemed nothing restrictive about her

in dress or attitude.

Her clothes were shown to advantage in movement … and moved she did

on the dance floor to the latest jazz tunes.

 

…

The 2013 cinematic release of The Great Gatsby allows us

to contemplate once more – the power of fashion.

Fashion can well define a generation:

what it is rebelling against and what it is advocating for.

…
