Trends repeat themselves and hence keeping knowledge of the best trends of the past may help you to grab something cool the next time you go shopping. This post will give you a brief of the International fashion of 50 years. It is divided into two parts and this is the 1st part that digs up into the '70s '80s and '90s of international fashion.
1. The swaying 70's:
Disco emerged as a subculture in the seventies, hence its influence was on fashion too. The early '70s continued the hippie look from the '60, tie and dye, bell bottoms and embroidered blouses were pretty common. The mid-'70s popularized the T-shirts. It was now not considered as an undergarment and vivid designs, prints flooded the markets. Disco became an essential part of the culture and the disco looks were in vogue. Youngsters swayed under the dazzling glitter ball and sequins became trendy. But in the late '70s, the relaxed looks were popular and tight-fitting clothes were replaced by loose clothes.
Here is Diana Ross, one of the top fashion icons of the seventies.
2. Effervescent Eighties:
The early '80s were inspired by the late '70s. The brightly coloured clothes were out of the picture, rather various shades of brown like tan, cream or even sometimes orange were seen often. During the mid-80s bright colours were trendy again. Women at the workplace were now more confident and garments were accordingly made. Shoulder pads and fingerless gloves lived in the 80s,
Madonna existed as an influential fashion icon of the 80s. If you want to see another fashion icon of the '80s find the post about top 10 looks of the People's Princess below.
3. Nascent Nineties:
The early nineties were dominated by neon colours along with bold geometric prints such as triangles, zig-zags and pop arts of comic illustrations. The leggings and athletic wear came into the scene. The late 93 and early 94 were highly influenced by the grunge fashion, Ripped jeans, mom jeans, combat boots, band T-shirts were commercial. The mid-nineties had a feminine touch and tailored skirts, babydoll dresses and animal prints were high on demand. The work attire followed power dressing norms, i.e. conservative style like tailored suits and shoulder-padded jackets along with darker colours like black and navy blue. Finally, the late nineties fashion had a big Asian influence on it. International designers introduced khadi, paisley etc. Dresses were inspired by Bollywood and Indian fashion got an international appreciation.
