It is strange how things come around again and again in the fashion industry. When I grew up, seventies fashion was viewed as a joke. Oh sure, people wore 1970s fashion to talent shows and Halloween parties, but that was it. It all seemed like such a humorous way of dressing.. There is nothing appealing about 70s clothing. If there was any distinguishing characteristic of 70s fashion, it was that it all seemed to be as over-the-top and ridiculous as possible. The paisley shirts, bell-bottom pants, and the rest of it all looked absolutely awful.
When I saw That Seventies Show become popular, I thought it would be a brief thing. I could not picture the seventies becoming cool, after all. Sure, there had been “Dazed and Confused,” but that was just a joke. Nonetheless, people seemed to take it more seriously than they really should have. Soon, seventies fashion was everywhere. First it became all the rage in colleges, then the high school kids caught on, and now it is almost acceptable for everyone.

The company of women of fashion will improve your manners, though not your understanding; and that complaisance and politeness, which are so useful in men’s company, can only be acquired in women’s.

Don't get me wrong, I love retro fashion from time to time. I loved the 1960s, and I love sixties fashion. I have even worn bell-bottoms a few times. Nonetheless, seventies fashion is too silly for words. Who has ever heard of wearing disco clothing as a serious statement! And what about those leisure suits? Will that be the next fad? I have always been a T-shirt and jeans kind of guy most of the time. I dress up in fashionable clothing every now and then, but I have never really been dedicated to it. Nonetheless, seventies fashion is the only thing that I will categorically refuse to wear. It is just too silly for words.
Still, there is something refreshing about the flamboyance of seventies fashions. Maybe it was that everyone was doing so many drugs during the 1970s, but whatever the reason, people didn't feel at all hesitant about making a statement. If there is anything good about the fashion of the seventies, it is that it is loud, bold, and unafraid. The fact that it is silly puts a bit of a damper on the effect, but even still, I see how seventies fashion appeals to some people. Nevertheless, seventies fashions will never be for me. I like classic fashion that can survive generation after generation. Give me a T-shirt, jeans, and a leather jacket any day!

Why Perfume is packaged with Other Complimentary Products
By Grady Wilder
When was the last time you bought or received a perfume or other fragrance in a stand-alone bottle or package? It has probably been a while, hasn't it? Do you wonder why that is? Stop and really think about why you don't go out and buy just the bottle of perfume or cologne by itself or why any fragrance gift comes packaged with other products. Is buying a stand-alone package too expensive? Or maybe, it is because they don't sell it in a bottle or package that suits your needs; it could be either too small of a package or one that is just too large that you are sure you will never finish the fragrance....
Fashion Designer
By Ivan Ingram
When most people think of students in fashion design schools, they assume that we are all filthy rich children of suburban America who have been indulging in all the excesses of fashion couture since we first turned 13. Although there are some students that definitely fit the profile, for most of us this couldn't be further from the truth....
