The 1970s (Fashion Sourcebooks)

July 27, 2010 By: admin Category: Vintage Fashion General

Fashion Sourcebooks is a series of beautifully illustrated paperbacks presenting the costume drawings of John Peacock. The series charts the development of women’s and men’s clothing from 1900 onwards, with a volume devoted to the fashions of each decade. John Peacock’s Fashion Sourcebooks are destined to become an indispensable part of the library of any fashion enthusiast, historian, or collector, and are sure to provide inspiration to any designer or student working in the performing arts.

Fashion in the 1970s grew increasingly individualistic. The ethnic look flourished. Colors became bolder and brighter, and loose, baggy clothes were introduced. Women’s skirts gradually lengthened and became more flowing, while men’s dress incorporated frilled or patterned shirts, wide ties, and embroidered waistcoats. Flared pants were worn by both sexes.

Salvation Army Thrift Stores for Vintage Fashion in and around Brooklyn New York

July 24, 2010 By: admin Category: Vintage Clothing Shops, Vintage Fashion General

Salvation Army Thrift stores are not known for having the best vintage clothing but you can usually find some good retro or boho fashion from the 60s-90s here. The prices are very good but the condition varies between stores. I picked up a great men’s Cashmere jacket at one of these thrift stores for around $5 and sold it on ebay for $25. Good Luck!
