THE SEVENTIES DISCO FASHION

As an exception, the disco movement was not a political movement in the 70`s but it concentrated exclusively on an entertainment value which was lived out in the discos in this time. With the real "disco-hype" which was activated in the seventies the first actual party generation was born which concentrated on feasting and fun.

With the disco there was a new trend which signed this movement. The main point was the standing out because a real disco visitor always wanted to be in the focus of the dancefloor. No surprise that the clothing was very curious. Beside the bell-bottoms which were extra wide and especially decorated they wore wunderful ornated chemises and jackets. The disco fashion could not be fancy enough and because of that glitter and strass enforced and were combined with each clothing only to stand out especially in reflecting effect from light of the mirror ball.

Beside these clothes, there was a trend to platform shoes which at first only was for ladies but later isolated seen at mens` feet in this time.
