POSTMODERNISM AND THE 1970'S

Postmodernism & The 1970's
Postmodernism is a late 20th century movement in the arts that was a departure from modernism. It is often associated with deconstruction and post-structuralism because it gained significant popularity at the same time as the 20th century post structural thought.

The 70's fashions were becoming part of mainstream culture. In the 70's everyone wore flares, platforms and fringe. These trends are now making a re appearance on the runways. Modern day designers were inspired by the original icons of the era such as Cher, Bianca Jagger and many more. 
There are now many brands such as Gucci and Laura Ashley are making 1970's fashion their own back in the day.

She was then quickly given the cover of Buisness Bible Newsweek and was named 'The most marketable designer since CoCo Chanel.' Diane had sold over 5 million of the dresses worldwide.
