Vintage and retro clothing appeal to different people for different reasons.   There are people who like the fabrics used during a certain era and there are people who like the designs and cuts.   And some people just like showing off that their clothes are vintage from another era.   You can't help but feel cool wearing that retro stuff. There's a resurgence of 1970s and 1980s fashions right now.   Fashion seems to come back every twenty to thirty years after it was first popular.    Seventies fashion has a wide range of looks.   The early seventies continued the extreme casual look of the late sixties.   Jeans, granny dresses, hot pants, and midi skirts dominated female fashion.   From the middle to late seventies, men wore the hippie look until disco took over.   The disco era was all about skin tight outfits and loud silk shirts. During the eighties, the disco theme continued, but not everyone followed.   By the middle of the d...

Founded in 1996, Full Circle Clothing is a British fashion brand that takes a breather from the trends and fashions of the day. It was a time of bright colors, ripped tops, and acid-wash jeans. The decade also saw the peak of the Global Hypercolor craze (t-shirts that changed color when heated); the platform shoe almost came back; and the Spice Girls were all the rage. We should look back on the 90s with shame and embarrassment, lest we forget that history will repeat itself. There were some designers who knew what true style meant and worked towards it - despite working against current trends and crazes - even during these fashion dark ages. That's when Full Circle Clothing stepped in. They thought it was their duty to save Britain from these depths. Full Circle Clothing's main theme (and the fundamental idea they started out with) is to create clothing that is inspired by the natural beauty of our otherwise man-made lives. Full Circle draws inspiration from architecture, vi...

There has been a perception that fashion is foreign and not African for a very long time. The scene is changing fast, though, as the Afro-American community has become more aware of its fashion sense since Obama was elected. As a reminder of their rich and diverse heritage, African Americans indulge in African fashion. African fashion has roots that go back centuries. From vibrant sisal skirts, which are an essential part of African dances, to the Kanga, now a fashion staple, African fashion is everywhere. Fashion in Africa has become quite lively with runway shows happening often and African designers competing with international designers. These fashion shows are mostly about fashion with a purpose, which attracts fashion lovers from all over. African pop culture also has a lot to do with fashion, with some designers getting a lot of attention. There are celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce, Solange Knowles, and Will Smith. The African fashion movement isn't just for celebr...

It was loud, big, and outrageous for the generation of partygoers in the 70s. They wanted their parties to be ridiculously awesome and flashy. They created the famous hustle, bump, electric slide, and other dance moves that were typical of that era. Imagine people rocking these moves in their big flouncing flared shirts and pants outfits, and you can tell that the decade was full of outrageous and no-holds-barred behavior. There was a crazy extravagance to 70s fashions . Fabrics come in weird colors and patterns. They were the norm, and everyone wanted to get in on the action. Basically, whatever was cool and fashionable for women was considered appropriate and even gorgeous for men. Celebrities, as well as their fans, knew how to make the most of their fashion freedom. People love the 70s because of their out-of-the-box fashions , and when you see pictures of people wearing those fancy and outrageously smashing outfits, you can't help but love the colors and patterns. People seeme...

It was a great decade for fashion in the 90s. It's no longer about the amount of dress or under-dressing for the big names in fashion. A minimalist twist emphasized the grace and freedom of the human form in the 90s. The beauty of stark simplicity replaced ostentatious displays of class. A product's style was important, but so was the way it was portrayed by the media. In the 20th century, fashion took a turn for the out-of-the-ordinary and revolutionary. No more blond bombshells and femme fatales ruling the runways. Instead, topics like poverty, sexual violence, disability, death, and body modification took on the form of the romantically poor waif, devoid of makeup and surrounded by stark backgrounds. Several ready-to-wear clothing retailers came into prominence with clothes that women found comfortable and ultimately wearable. This was also when Gucci (which had existed since the 20s) became the biggest-selling Italian brand of all by winning the Brand of the Year award. ...

There was a unique fashion trend in the 80s. Fashion styles and dresses varied a lot in the 80s. During this time, women had a lot of options to choose from on the market. In this era, fashion was very powerful and dominated. Many of the outfits in this decade had a tailored look, which most people liked. Back then, you couldn't go anywhere without a jacket or at least a suit. Commercials, clothing companies, and big garments influenced people a lot. Dramas and serials also played a big role in commercializing 80s fashion. Also, movies and characters influence people. Celebrities became icons for many people, influencing 80s fashion heavily. In the 80s, other celebrities like Margaret Thatcher in tailored suits and yuppies wearing costumes like Diana Princes of Wales had a huge influence on fashion. People liked new romantics, power dressing, stretch dresses, and sportswear. There was a certain significance to these types of costumes in the minds of people. Roll up jeans, s...

    There are numerous things that come to mind as you reflect about the 1980s. When we look back on the 1980s, one thing stands out in our memories: the decade's clothes. The 1980s' style is quite simple to identify. This cannot necessarily be stated about past-era fashion because they all have characteristics that make it difficult to tell them apart. It is acceptable to state that the fashion of the 1980s belongs to a completely separate category all by itself. Although tube socks are still worn by some lads now, they were very popular among girls in the 1980s and were worn with virtually any type of clothing. In the 1980s, though, simple tube socks weren't sufficient. To make the girls look truly fashionable, they had to be somewhat ruffled. The fashion of the 1980s was greatly influenced by movies. Are you familiar with the film Flashdance? The new 1980s feminine fashion aesthetic was popularized by that film. All of a sudden, everyone was required to wear big sweat...

Just a few are listed here: For the most part, we believe that simply donning the varsity team jacket will magically change our appearance into "jock mode." Large fonts and the school's vibrant colours, however, do not cover up our bad taste in clothing or lack thereof. The only way to truly embody the Jock Look is to try out for a school sport, make the team, and gain the right to don the jacket. I do not mean the varsity chess team when I say sport and team. I think we can all agree that we remember the nerds ...

  A fresh urban fashion t-shirt collection can be made using a straightforward formula. Take one white t-shirt, add one logo, some clashing colours, and print as desired all over. As needed, repeat. Is it effective? Yes. Does it fulfil? Debatable.

But more significantly, no one else was saying those things. You surely recall such a period, I wager. Since when have we all adopted the same style? When did it become uncool to break from the pack, stop following the herd, stop following the herd, stand out from the crowd, defy authority, be different, be distinctive, be authentic, be real, or just plain stand out and make a statement?

  High Street Fashion seems to be a term that is bandied about more and more, but no one seems eager to clarify what it means. However, all we see are images, pictures, and more pictures in fashion magazines and blogs that appear to have a specific column or category devoted to this phenomena. What is it then? I feel like I may have a general understanding of what high street fashion is after doing some research that involves browsing through numerous magazines and viewing a tonne of images (like the one I was referring to above). You have undoubtedly observed adults, adolescents, and children who appear to have a very distinct personal style as they pass you on the street. They either wear ensembles or blend the newest fashion trends. But the result of their fashion decisions is something special and surely deserving of at least a little of our admiration. All of the images that we see on fashion blogs are actually portraits of the kind of people who have a way of inspiring us ...

Before the era of renowned people, such as celebrities, hard-working people with innovative minds and creative minds were the inspiration for clothing and fashion . Prior to breaking into the fashion world, they were the real designers who frequently worked late into the night. We know several well-known fashion designers who began their clothing line in a small room in the rear of the house with a sewing machine and a few metres of fabric. These are the real, inspired fashion designers, not someone who can't sing in front of thousands of people or even dress adequately. We've seen a lot of high-profile celebrities launch clothing brands in the belief that they will be successful, but after a few months after the so-called their own thinking of being creative stops, they are unable to introduce new ideas into the market. As a result, a lot of celebrity fashion brands disappear after their big launch parties. However, clothing that is inspired by celebrities, like a plain t-sh...
