From the Streets to the Runway: Fashion of the 1970’s

Historically fashion influencers were among the social elite and the latest fashion designs were shown in exclusive runway shows, admired by the public from a distance. Social upheaval and changing social attitudes in the 1960’s and 70’s changed all that. Far from runway presentations in Paris, Milan, London and NYC, popular fashion found a vibrant home in the discos and streets of urban centers changing the way we view and consume fashion.
