From hippie to disco to punk, this look book relives 1970s fashion via clothing advertisements from the decade. In between its covers you`ll find bell-bottoms and feathered hair mingling with platform shoes, Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dresses and endless amounts of polyester (what were they thinking?).
