Beauty Through the Decades: 70's

I must say that this era has slowly issued from  60s with it's swing, hippies and rock'n'roll into something you may call "totall 70s". The "it girls", musicians, celebrities and powers that be having the time of their lives in legendary Manhattan club "Studio 54". 70's was the time when models started to become supermodels like Janice Dickinson and Gia Carangi. In early and mid 70s female facionistas wore Halston. It was a period of disco and glamour. In fact, hair became the symbol of the era in more ways than one, evolving into perhaps the most powerful means of projecting an image or making a statement. For most of the decade, men and women of all ethnicities wore their hair long, natural and above all free. Long before Jennifer Aniston's Rachel cut spawed a million copies, american actress Farrah Fawcett created first must-have celebrity hair-style, and demonstrated it to the world on hit show "Charlie's Angels". Toward the end of the decade the punk movement arose in opposition to the hippie-influenced values of the era. Punks created a deliberately shocking, provocative look that included spiked hairdos dyed bright fluorescent colors, shaved and tattooed scalps, facial piercings and spectacular makeup. Vivienne Westwood & Malcolm Maclaren brought this extravagant and shocking style into fashion.
