Here’s a few reasons why

  • The AW12 shows were HUGE for geometric prints and matching printed suiting. Think Miu Miu, Prada and brown and cream carpets.

  • THE way to update something RIGHT NOW is to stick a marabou trim on it. Think Meadham Kirchhoff AW12 for colour, fluff and frivolousness.

  • For SS13 chambray denim will be key as will 70s folk embroidery, patchwork, bell shapes and the pinafore. Raid your mum’s loft now.

  • Mulberry was a great source of 70s colour inspiration for SS13 with top-to-toe mustard, golds and cream being key. Cape-style jackets and daisy buttons added a bit of psychedelic flower power. Marc Fast bigged-up lurex and (watch your sleeves in that Babysham!) ultra-long dress tassels.

  • Swedish fashion powerhouse, Acne closed their SS13 show to a cover of Dancing Queen.

How literal can we get here, kids? Get your 70s style disco groove on now!
