70'S FASHION - VINTAGE FASHION ADS

On the surface, the book '70's Fashion: Vintage Fashion & Beauty Ads' looks supremely tacky, but it's a goldmine of imagery and shapes from shoes to glasses, and especially jeans. There's also a few great ads for sewing machines, zips and thread, the best of which has the tagline: 'Motorcyles are a thing with Karen and Carl. He does a great quiche lorraine. She's into Yoga. He makes their jewelry. She made these clothes.' He makes their jewelry. Genius.

Anyway, I'm just posting my favourite jeans ones for now, but I may come back for Karen and Carl if someone would like to see the clothes that Karen made.

  3. i know, they're so great, they totally conform to our idea of what the 70's should have been like! i think i'd be happy if i could be the girl in #1, the landlubber advert.
