Retro Days Are Back
Let’s take the boots and layers off for a second and talk spring. It’s frequent for designers to use a specific decade as a source of inspiration within their collection. Designers showcased spring collections that look like they came out of “That’s 70’s Show”, but with a modern twist. Today, we see many designers using psychedelic patterns and bright colors, the retro days are back for spring and summer. Modern hippy looks flooded the runway with eye-catching patterns and colors. Designers were feeling a little nostalgic thinking back on old days, thus bringing us unique collections. Here's a guide of must-have pieces your wardrobe needs to achieve the 70’s psychedelic look this spring and summer.
The first essential you must have in your wardrobe is a pair of patterned pants. Designers like Paco Rabanne and Charlotte Knowles, in my opinion, have nailed the retro look, while keeping it modern and trendy.
Christopher Kane’s Spring 2020 Collection shows us that overalls are back in trend, but with some crazy colors. We see this trend with many other designers as well, bright neon color blocking is making a comeback this season. Style this dress with a white t-shirt underneath and some chunky white boots. Don’t forget to accessorize!
Disco collars are going to make a shocking comeback this season, and they’re going to stand out in a bold way, so hop on board early and think fearless! Get groovy with this trend but pay attention to one thing; contrast! Style yours with a white blazer, and some funky pants to top the look off. As long as you make sure to contrast your look, you can't go wrong! Top the look off with some chunky retro sunnies as we see with Paco Rabanne.

At the rise of Covid-19 many of us first questioned the timeline of fashion week and would we see the regular calendar continue - the question weighed over many of us for months! It was refreshing to see design houses and designers across the globe take advantage of the uncertainty and plow into production mode - thus my interest in Jerri Reid New York - The Black Designer based in Brooklyn New York wow’d instagram with his latest collection paying homage to the Black Is King film which debuted earlier this year in July. I was taken aback at quick of a turn round the young designer produced and released his well crafted designs reflecting some of the films most memorable moments.
