*Kashi put up her hand and said*

By 1966 Mary Quant was producing short waist skimming mini dresses and skirts that were set 6 or 7 inches above the knee. It's not right to say that she invented the mini but she took the idea from the 1964 designs by Courrèges and as like the shorter styles she made them even shorter for her boutique Bazaar.

London girls were seeking newness only too willing to try Quant's new daring shorter dresses. The fashion trend took off because it was so different and to wear it well you had to be youthful to get away with an outfit that was so controversial particularly among adults. The Quant style was soon known as the Chelsea Look.
The shapes Quant designed were simple, neat, clean cut and young. They were made from cotton gabardines and adventurous materials like PVC used in rain Macs. They almost always featured little white girly collars.

Quant was also sported a sharply cut geometric hairstyle. One of the most famous and favoured cuts of the era was the 5 point cut by Vidal Sassoon.

*she finished saying with a low sigh*

* Watches Hermy answer the question and said.. under his breath. *
Man girls know way to much about clothing.

"I never heard of the Disco Era before, mind I did heard of the Discos fever... like the Saturday Night Fever movie, speaking of John Travolta."

Nadia sighed and tried to write it all down. This was too much information, even for her - she didn't want to think of the lenght of the assigment! And with her compulsive problem... she would probably not sleep today...

Flashdance!!!

*kagome walks in*

Reign hums to herself 'she's a maniac maniac, and she's dancing like she's never danced beforrrrre"

*takes out matierals and writes dawon what she heard*

*put up hand*

"o my mum she a muggle and she says that back then they had belts on there jakets for no reason and they didn't buckle them up.is that true?"

I would have said Saturday Night Fever...

"One way people stood out in this colourful decade was to wear their 'underwear' on the outside. Popularized by Madonna and her Like A Virgin video."

"I love that movie. It's still pretty popular actually.

"they wore underwear on the outside?"kagome said"that's wierd"

*looks around starts taking notes*

"hum this is wierd"

*gathers up stuff*

*gets up*

*leaves*

Reign whispers to Nadia, "Saturday Night Fever was in the 70s, and it popularized Disco, legwarmers werent part of that attire, i believe."

"I know," she said. "The thing is, I'm not American, so I don't know much about their culture. Never heard of Flashback and the only movie I knew of that was released by that time was SN Fever^^ *lol* I'm a fan of Michael Jackson though."

*ponders* "Plus I never heard legwarmers, it's isn't a common attire in Argetina..."

"Flashdance is that movie where she is a welder or something, but wants to be a dancer. It has that scene where she is dancing then she sits on a chair pulls a cord and water spills down on her. I personally thought it was a dumb movie. I guess you wouldnt really need legwarmers where you are, but I'm from Canada and I remember people wearing them, but that fashion died out quickly. Thank Merlin!!"

Actually, the 70's was the decade that forgot good taste, the 80's was the decade of decadence. The economy was so good that people has a ton of money to spend. This was also the decade that YUPPIES emerged.

I remember seeing something about jelly bracelets and how muggles would wear tons of them, big, long danglie earings and had their hair curled in what we now call 'big hair'.
