About Nostalgia & Eras
The seventies dressed to be noticed. Trousers swept the pavement in great denim or corduroy flares, collars spread wide across patterned shirts, and platform soles lifted heels to dizzying heights. Colour was unapologetic — burnt orange, mustard, and chocolate brown — and a kaftan or a poncho was as likely to appear on the high street as in a festival field. It was an era that treated getting dressed as its own kind of performance.
