Description The 1970s was a decade of style contrasts: every extreme of fashion was met by an equally trendy opposite reaction.
Liza\'s first book, Vintage Knitting , was published by Shire in 2015..
About the Author Liza Hollinghurst , herself a child of the 1970s, has had over thirty magazine articles published since 2013, specializing in twentieth-century social history and vintage lifestyle.
In this book, Daniel Milford-Cottam uses colorful photographs to illustrate an eye-opening introduction to the bold fashions that still have such resonance today.
More so than at any other time, fashion looked backwards in order to dress the future with quirkily ironic retro looks, while alternative street-style movements such as Punk used appearance to startle and challenge the establishment.
Delicate floral cottons, hand-knits and hand-tooled leather came up against boldly synthetic and plastic looks perched atop platform shoes--for men and women alike.
Outfits in vibrant prints and obviously man-made fabrics contrasted with subtly-colored ensembles in wool jerseys and silky crepes.
Ankle-length maxi skirts vied for attention with super-short hot-pants.
