70 s fashion

If I have a time machine, I would definitely want to go back to the 70’s. The 70’s era is where my favorite comic book “Archie” had started, my favorite TV show “Bewitched” had aired and more importantly, fashion in the 70’s era is crazy and amazing at the same time! With sophisticated yet comfortable blouses, flappers and tunics, you can see that the 70’s era brought a lot in the fashion table. The styles never die. It is making a comeback every now and then, especially this 2011!

Back in 1975, women’s fashion was on a roll, driven by a flourishing yet cautious ready-to-wear industry. Smocks, blouses and tunics were all the rage, these and many more had been the flurry of silhouettes that Christian Restoin would set out to revolutionize. new all. Having a distinct taste level and discerning eye for style and drawing an inspiration from American fils of the 50s, from stars such as Katherine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall (Who became one of his clients), Restoin introduce men’s shirts turn into women’s shirt with the launch of his brand Equipment - transforming a men’s classic into an item of women’s clothing with glam appeal. Straightforward yet innovative, it didn’t take too long before Equipment clothing had been a recognized name amongst the fashion elite. And the rest is history.
After enjoying twenty years of the brands success, Restoin moved on and closed the brand. Some says he just got tired and just want to have a peaceful family life, some says he is wishing to pursue another phase in his career while other says that he give up to give way for his wife’s career which is the editor in chief of Vogue magazine today. Whatever the reason is, one thing is for sure, people want more.

Luckily for us fashionistas, we had been blessed by another fashion mogul - Serge Azria. Azria a visionary and well known name in the fashion industry, who also owns the successful and very lovable fashion lines JOIE and Current/Elliot re-launched Equipment clothing brand in 2010 as CEO and Creative Director.

60 s fashion

Are you born on the 60’s and miss the era so much? Or are you’ve been looking at the magazines and have found the fashion in the 60’s very appealing that you just cant get enough of it? One of the easiest ways to show your love for the 60s is to wear boho jewelry. It can be discrete and comfortable if you want, but still quietly state your outlook in a stylish and elegant way.

A bracelet for the neck or ankle, necklace or ring are all great options for bohemian jewelry and are great for men or women. Jewelry made of silver, stone or handmade beads are very nice. Bead jewelry can have almost any theme. Stars, earth, rasta, music, love, sex; anything goes. Hemp jewelry is also popular. One of the more unique jewelry items is cladding rings or other wedding rings. These are often hand made by silversmiths and can be bought at Renaissance fairs.  Boho Peace jewelry is one of the most popular jewelry items for those looking for 60s fashion. Hippie earrings with peace signs worked into the design are just too classic to pass by, but can be too commercial if you aren't careful. What you want to look for to be an authentic wearer of hippie clothes is unique hippie jewelry. Certainly such items can have peace signs, but don't forget flowers, especially sunflower, rose and daisy designs, the word LOVE and PEACE, smiley faces and other designs that can still get your point across. Rainbows also lend themselves quite easily to hippie stuff.


The well-known music of the 60s is also another theme you will find commemorated in Boho jewelry. The music of the Grateful Dead, Janis Jopin, Jimi Hendrix and later artists like Bob Marley is honored by crafted products available at your local head shop.At such places you can usually also check out cool threads, groovy bags, boho clothing and buy gift certificates. You'll also find a huge collection of great boho jewelry & watches at bargains.

But, if you want boho jewelry now, I suggest you look online. There are lots of great items being sold online and with a fair price tag. You can also get designer boho jewelry online that celebrities as well as fashion models are wearing. One of the best place to buy boho jewelry is at JohnnyWas.com Johnny Was is a boho brand that had been around for more than 20years now. And Johnny Was will continue to be my one stop source for all Boho styles.  new
