THE INFLUENCE OF AN ERA


The Era that continues to inspire designers of today, is of course the 1970'es.

Halston (1932-90) was the designer of the era and dressed all the celebrities at that time.
They all met at the famous Studio 54 in New York, a decadent and notorious disco in the late 1970´s. For more information read more about what they wore at Studio 54 here.

Even today you see a lot of celebrities wearing Halston Vintage at big events, because it still looks effortless, glamouros, contemporary and stylish. Here is a few examples to illustrate.



Even today we still see a very strong influence in the collections from Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs among others. They also frequented the famous club back then.

Tom Ford since gained international fame for his turnaround of Gucci from 1990-2004, because he gave back the house a more contemporary, sexy and glamouros style, inspired by the influence of that decade.
Especially the latest collection in his own name shows very much the impact that era had on him. Read more about his state of mind and why in Harper´s Bazaar here.
