Street Trends

1970's and 1980's once again hold associations with music and fashion.

Disco with synthetic fabrics, jewel colors and jumpsuits help the dancer with soft fabrics and flexible fit. The white suit worn for the film Saturday Night Fever, is associated with Disco.

Jewel tones & white suits on the runway provide a 1970's street influence. 

Punk with heavy boots and outrageous hair styles influences the runway. An anti-establishment trend in Britain that influenced the early 1980's fashion, Punk itself is influenced by glam rock, skinheads, rude boys, greasers and mods. Custom jackets (studs, pins, or chains), worn t-shirts, multiple belts, and tule skirts with jeans are punk.

Vivienne Westwood and her association with Malcolm Mclaren, fuel Punk. Her mini-crini (1985) is said to be inspired by ballet, Petroshka.
