1. Fashion Trends Re-Trending
In Present Days
Fashion Trends Past To Present Days

2. The Flirty Dress
Then: Ali MacGraw was
all smiles in a charming
printed bell-sleeved Ossie
Clark dress, complete with
tights and tall leather
boots.
Now: Designer Hedi
Slimane had the same idea
but, as he's wont to do,
gave his flirty frock a sexy
spin on the Saint Laurent
runway with a plunging
scoop neckline.

3. The Blazer
Then: Blazers and flared
bottoms were an
unbeatable combo in the
'70s. Francoise Hardy went
for one with substantial
weight to layer over
a chunky turtleneck knit
and wide-leg trousers.
Now: Stuart Vevers
of Coach re-imagined the
trend as a fitted
pale leather lapeled jacket
styled over a long tee and
super-flared pants.

4. The Bohemian White
Dress
Then: BIanca Jagger
partied it up in 1977 in an
off-the-shoulder, ground-
grazing white number
with tiered ruffles and
lantern sleeves.
Now: Roberto Cavalli
took away the sweetness
that comes with a pretty
sheer dress by pairing it
with an embellished
chambray shirt, casually
buttoned just so.

5. The Vest
Then: Mia Farrow gave
her tee and floral skirt a
shaggy finish with a white
textural piece.
Now: Tommy
Hilfiger's '70s-inspired
spring/summer 2015
collection featured
colorful fur vests with a
dose of Americana thanks
to stripes and spangled
stars.

6. The Tunic-and-
Skirt Combo
Then: Meryl Streep was
the picture of easy
elegance at the 1979
premiere party of 'The
Seduction of Joe
Tynan,' layering a belted
tunic over a long pleated
skirt.
Now: Stella McCartney
created movement on
the spring/summer
2015 runway with an
optic white
monchromatic set that
swished with every
step.

7. The Mini Shift
Then: Audrey
Hepburn hit a
ladylike note in
1970 for a stroll
through Rome in a
striped shift, sweet
cardigan and
buckled flats.
Now: Riccardo Tisci
gave the little dress a
tough edge on
the Givenchy
catwalk with a stud-
lined vest and
incredible thigh-high
open-toe boots.

8. Denim Flares
Then: Jane Birkin epitomized laidback
glamour, striking a pose in 1974 in a
plain white tee, worn-in denim flares
and ballet flats.
Now: Diane von Furstenberg upped
the sophistication by tucking a collared
floral blouse into a pair of chic high-
waisted flared jeans, with nary a frayed
hem in sight.

9. The Skirt Set
Then: Francoise
Hardy, the original street
style star, was snapped
window-shopping in a
sophisticated skirt that she
styled with a white
turtleneck and calf-high
white boots.
Now: Seen on the Gucci
spring 2015
runway: sleek whites with
gold round buttons for a
fierce military-inspired
feel.

10. Lace-Up Sandals
Then: Ali MacGraw
stepped out with film
producer Robert Evans
in 1970 dressed to the
nines in an asymmetric
printed number with
layered pendants
and knee-high lace-up
sandals.
Now: Not much has
changed four decades
later—designers Maria
Grazia Chiuri and
Pierpaolo Piccioli
styled each of their
Valentino spring 2015
looks with lace-up
gladiator sandals that
rocketed to the top of
every fashion editor's
wish list ever since they
stepped foot onto the
runway.

11. Sweeping Bell Bottoms
Then: Singer-
songwriter Dolly
Parton made an in-store
appearance at Peaches
Records in 1977, dialing up
the drama with sweeping
bell bottoms and va-va-
voom ringlets.
Now: Match the volume on
the bottom with ruffles on
top. Giovanna Randall
added flair to her Honor
show when she showed a
playful flared set that felt
more streamlined than
fussy.

12. The Neck-Tie Blouse
Then: Snapped in 1978,
Bianca Jagger suited up for a
night at Studio 54 in dapper
suit separates, injecting a dose
of feminine flair with a black
neck-tie blouse.
Now: Designer Nicolas
Ghesquiere took the pretty
detailing and wove the ribbon
into the high neckline of a
dress on the Louis Vuitton
runway. The result? Pretty
powerful.

13. A Twist on Puffed Sleeves
Anne of Green Gables isn’t the only one who has a thing for
puffed sleeves. If you’ve read the book or watched the 1985
movie, you probably remember the scene where she is
pleading her case to Marilla for why she needs a dress with
puffed sleeves. “Puffed sleeves are so fashionable now,”
Anne explains. “It would give me such a thrill, Marilla, just to
wear a dress with puffed sleeves.” Although puffed sleeves
have been around since the Victorian era, this trend has
popped up in one way or another in nearly every decade.
However, fashion designers have put their own spin on
puffed sleeves over the years. It’s a perfect example to
illustrate fashion: then and now:
•1940s and 1950s: Puffed sleeves in the 1940s and 1950s
appeared on dresses, sweaters, and blouses alike. These
puffed sleeves were more round in nature to give off a
feminine look, and they were moderate in size.
•1970s: Puffed sleeves were commonly sheer and long
during this timeframe, and cinched at the wrist. Some
women could also be seen wearing Victorian-inspired
blouses with lace details.
•1980s: Designers in the 80s liked their sleeves just how
they liked their hair: extra big and poofy.
•Today: The trend is still going strong. However, current
puffed sleeves are modest, often with subtle, tasteful
pleats.

14. World War II meant the first
half of the 1940s was
defined by the rationing of
clothes and the scarcity of
fabric. Undeterred, women
turned to hats (like the
fashionable yet functional
snood) and headscarves
(like the bandana
immortalised by Rosie the
Riveter) to show off their
femininity. In the meantime,
hemlines rose to knee
length and women wore
jumpsuits and trousers for
the first time: a more
functional outfit for working
in factories

15. We especially love
how Emelio Pucci got
in on the action with
printed styles.
Long Live Leggings
With the invention on Lycra came Leggings of course! From Ann
Margret to Debbie Reynolds you can find celebs sporting our
favorite look~leggings.

16. Mini-Love
Women across the globe owns, or has owned, a mini-skirt at some point in her life. Despite the somewhat
mysterious origin, by 1966, “it” girls from around the world were showing a lot more leg
Today hemlines continue to creep up the leg as mini-skirts come in many forms. From studded, assymetrical, adorned with
zippers, sequins, pleats, or body-con, the mini is far from boring.

17. Another fashion main-stay that grew to popularity in 60’s fashion was the controversial introduction of the pantsuit for
women. Yves Saint Laurent first pioneered this look in 1966 with the “Le Smoking” suit. Viewed as “inappropriate” for
women to wear pants, women donning the pantsuit could be refused service at upscale establishments. This didn’t stop
women such as the zealous Katherine Hepburn to unapologetically wear pantsuits, furthering women equality.

18. Shift Style
Another iconic look from 60’s fashion was the evolution of
the shift/tent dress popularized during this decade. The
beauty of the shift dress is in its simple design. The design
hangs away from the body with a bust dart seam; giving
the dress a more fitted upper torso, leaving the dress
straight or with a subtle A-line from the waist to just above
or below the knee.
