Thank you so much for this wonderful post and for choosing my orange leisure suit as an example! As always, Sammy, you are my go-to site for info and inspiration on vintage clothing!!! As I move my etsy shop from Elevations over to EchoFoxtrot, and try to improve my descriptions and photos, I continue to find the details I seek from your great work here! You really are an inspiration!!!

Fabulous and informative!
To sum a decade in fashion and trends is no easy feat! This is a go-to article for anyone who wants to know about what the 70’s looked like. Highly recommended! I enjoyed the “real life” photos side by side with slicker more polished advertising photos. Thanks for the feature!

In reply to Laura Fedora. hi Laura! No, thank you for your commitment to vintage and giving attention to what you want to grow. You are very right about "archaeology." I may steal that from you ;-)

What a good read! So interesting and the photos just bring it to life even more! ! I absolutely love the section on the punk rock movement.
The 70s punk rock counterculture spirit is still alive and well with a few new twists added in. Our new counterculture isn’t afraid to take 70s hippie, punk rock, Victorian style and a dash of new rainbow rave and mix it all together with the weight of the artistic and historical significance of the pieces adding depth to everyday wear.
The depth evident in your stunning article makes thrifting and finding a sort of archeology and the act of wearing the garments a bit more poetic then going about in an average department store outfit.
Or at least that is how I see it :-)

Thank you so much for the feature!
