The first thing you notice when watching an old film of the first mid-70's are particular reasons why the designs of the fabrics used in clothing and more. Amazing and eye-catching multicolored geometric designs, large or small little flowers, circles, lines, Braided deformed ... I mean the best you can imagine from the world of color. And even here, as we saw for the wedges, there are social and historical causes.
need to go back about 10 years when the West Coast created the first American Hippy movement that spawned the Beat Generation and the Flower Power. A key feature that distinguished them was their strong no to any form of war, as well as their more famous slogan was "Put flowers in your guns" text also included in a famous song by the Ravens.
With the explosion of the Flower Power in the mid-60 is easy to imagine how the phenomenon has moved from an underground subculture of fashion every day. Although the highlight of this fashion was 60 at the end of the tail of the erosion is taking place in the first half of the 70 with its natural evolution. However, the issue was only one: color! You could have a white mini-dress but the edges could be trimmed with red. You could have a single large flower or a lot smaller. The most recurrent theme was that kind abstract design reminiscent of the water drop and its related strains. These designs came from a fashion born deformed during use hallucinogenic drug that produced a particular way of writing, all distorted (Think of the covers of the 45 rpm era).
Everything was good for coloring: skirts, shirts, mini-dresses are so fashionable, dresses, pants, scarf (very fashionable at the time). But cars and furniture. My bathroom has tiles dating back to 1974 with a geometry shamelessly and lovingly 70s. Beautiful! That's why lot with the family to not change although they are known as "the shame of the house." And the wallpaper is so fashionable in the 70? If it was not that there were no flowers. You do not know the costs that families supported to put wallpaper on the wall. Today's paper talk wallpaper is like talking to 165 pounds of gasoline per gallon!
Returning to the tissues, over the first 70 years the flowers turned into geometric straight lines, not more oval but then deformed rectangles, squares, Greek, diamonds, diagonal lines ... The fashion flowers being in decline, and like all fads fade, become the exclusive use of an older audience. Remember the kaleidoscope? That tube with mirrors to look inward and turning it appeared geometric designs 1000? That's ... what you saw was the fashion in practice and it is still possible to buy in a regular supermarket at 10 € a garment covers the drawings reminiscent of that period. Only to then be told: "But grandmother is. " (But we are deaf 70-love it?)
Since 1975 the phenomenon of color is dramatically decreasing as a geometric fashion clothing is spreading the knitting, the true queen of the second half of the 70. No more colorful printed fabrics in yarn dyed, but only one that will last until the 80 advanced. Hence the family (the wealthy) were to replace their wallpaper with monochrome tones.
Personally I have a nostalgia of those amazing dresses, hand-eye effect and still I never lose an opportunity to go voluntarily in the markets of the cities to try and buy some nice new dress too 1000 of the lira as one of the photo. It is more flashy, and the more I like ... It 's useless when the 70 are in the blood there is nothing to do! As luck would have entered the donor AVIS!
