“Revolution to Revival: Haute Couture in the 1970s”
Fashions of the 1970s were eclectic, incorporating influences from street styles and popular culture, as well as, from new style makers. In the early years of the 1970s, fashion was strongly influenced by the bohemian, anti-fashions of the hippies, looks which successfully challenged the authority of traditional haute couture. Yet, Paris couture returned to the forefront in the late 1970s, especially with the highly original and fantastical designs of Yves Saint Laurent. Fashion Excursions Fashion Tour Information
