Open the wardrobe door on a decade that refused a single uniform. The Seventies Wardrobe is a richly illustrated visual encyclopaedia of the clothes, fabrics, scenes and social changes that shaped 1970s fashion. Across 119 carefully designed pages, Marian Vale traces the decade from handcrafted bohemian layers and high-waisted flares to glam platforms, disco jersey, punk reconstruction and late-seventies tailoring.
Clear entries explore womenswear, menswear, denim, polyester, knitwear, prints, footwear, accessories, hair, beauty, work, leisure and global textile exchange. Each profile offers visual clues and practical notes for dating or caring for vintage pieces. Original interpretive reconstructions make silhouettes and styling easy to compare, while the text keeps community, authorship and historical context in view.
Ideal for fashion students, vintage collectors, costume designers, stylists and anyone fascinated by the decade that made contradiction look unforgettable.
