My Asho's Take on the 70's

Fashion's funkiest (and arguably) most decadent decade- the 70's- took a firm hold of the catwalks this S/S '11 season. Let's not forget that this is the season that spawned iconic glamorous designers like Halston, YSL, Gucci and Fiorucci. This was a time when no one batted an eyelid when ladies danced on the infamous dance floors of Sudio 54 drenched in Opium, glossy red lipstick and lacquered nails intact, wearing their racy finest.


SHOP THE LOOK: Pink Jumpsuit by Christie Brown Ghana
This season, designers have offered us two different ways to interpret this trend- we can go the hippie free, fringed and flowing route (à la Roberto Cavalli) or we can incorporate all that was glamorous and elegant about the 70's (à la Marc Jacobs). My Asho chooses to opt for the latter and go down the elegant route of bright bold colours and iridescent fabrics.

To wear the 70's trend today, look no further than this Fuschia pink jumpsuit offering by Christie brown Ghana. The pièce de résistance of this ensemble is the unique fabric covered bead detailing on the ankle cuff. With such a rich outfit, you need only accessorise it with a lot of D.I.S.C.O attitude.
