Fashion continues to evolve from decade to decade, creating its own unique fashion trends and statement. The 1970’s were no different in sense that they created their own unique fashion legacy.

Mini skirts, maxi skirts and hot pants could all be found in the closets of women. The empire line dress was very popular, coming in both the mini skirt style and knee length style. Evening wear was usually a halter top in combination with evening pants or a maxi skirt. Styles ranged from anything from clunky and big to feminine and soft. The 70’s was a time of great political importance, with feminist protests, the Vietnam War, and Watergate inspiring designers to create cutting edge, yet comfortable items.
