Go Long. Go Lean.

The 70’s was about showing off the silhouette. Keep it slim in long hemlines and figure hugging shapes. Tuck silks and sheers into high waist lines and if in doubt, find a camel belt a faux fur and cinch, cinch, cinch. Hems and jaws should simultaneously hit the floor.

Almost Famous

We are waxing lyrical about original ‘70’s oversized jewels. Imagine if Studio 54 had a tent at Woodstock and you were booked to play. It’s folk hazily wandering over to funk and shaking hands. Big gold blocky jewels worn with easy breezy flowing maxis. If in doubt, think WWNRW*.
