20thCentury Fashion
Women Fashions:
1970sWelcome to The Costume Gallery's research area for 20th Century Fashions during the 1970s. This era fashions are frequently marked by designers such as Givenchy, Norell, and Oscar de la Renta. The 1960s trend of mini skirts, bell bottoms, and long hair, lasted through this decade. Polyster knitted fabrics broke the ground to expand the continuing look. If you didn't wear polyster, the preferred textile was denim blue jeans. Skirts came in three lengths in the 1970s, mini, midi, and maxi. Television and film reflected the way people dressed such as Annie Hall and Saturday Night Fever. The latter half of the decade's fashions were heavily influenced by Rock 'n' Roll's Disco music. There were many fashion trends in this era as you will see by the references below.
