The 70s Icons That Stand The Test Of Time

And the seasons they go round and round, once said 70s folk singer Joni Mitchell and given the current lust for peasant blouses, wallpaper florals and chunky retro knits her lyrical words still ring true. The revolutionary era of the 70s saw everyday street style liberated from the old ways. Women in trousers, loud expressive prints and dirt-toned corduroys, oh my! Hems grew shorter, denim flared out and leather was unapologetically worn head-to-toe (we owe a thank you to Grace Jones for that one). Silhouettes were androgynous given the rising of the feminist movement and encouraged a dynamic life in and out of the city — where the world was a little greener. This kind of playful utility spattered with the eclectic taste of so many iconic artists and musicians inevitably paved the path for many of the staples we wouldn’t dare live without now in our current closets.

Refined and updated, this is our nod to the greatest 70s hits still high on rotation.
