2.The 1970’s
Without a doubt, the decade that won out this season is the 1970s. New York designers referenced the bookish and quirky style of Patti Smith, Diane Keaton and the all-American Ali McGraw. There was elegant, but relaxed workwear, with tailored flared pants and turtleneck knits, as well as shimmering dresses and maxis ready for the disco. Across the board, wide trousers were everywhere and denim flares are certain to be huge this year.

…Coming in third – could this be the most practical of them all?

I dislike all of these – for me, at any rate.
Thanks for your feedback BellaB, lets see if any of these looks the designers have come up with become popular in the long run, or if they fall flat!
love the athleticism
Very urban-warrior aren’t they stels 😉
I’m in love with those ponchos!
Ponchos can be quite cool, gotta have the right attitude for them though!
I love the hard-edged athleticism – thankyou for bringing these pics to us BWA.
You’re welcome @whatthe! Glad you like the selection 🙂
