I think 1973 was the nadir of fashion. When you watch the coverage from that era, you're struck by the astonishing ugliness of the clothes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was so aware of the stage clothes versus the everyday-life clothes, and the extremeness of the stage clothes that my parents had designed. Even coming across my dad's old Beatles suits from Savile Row and the history attached to them - the masculinity and simplicity compared to the '70s glitz and glamour of Wings.
Fashion is not just about trends. It's about political history. You can trace it from the ancient Romans to probably until the '80s, and you can see defining moments that were due either to revolutions or changes in politics.
Just as you can identify eras of fashion by glancing at a piece of vintage clothing, logos create and follow trends over time.
I guess I'd never formed any hard opinions of '80s fashion, other than that it was pretty outrageous, you know.
What I always loved about vintage clothes is that you let the woman who wore it before you live on in some way.
When I think about old Hollywood and the glamour of those days, women like Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn were not dressing the way some girls dress today. There was a certain mystery about them, and I feel like that's gone in our industry.
There's never a new fashion but it's old.
One thing that I always liked about fashion was that it was tied in with music and art and film.
But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.
I have my favourite fashion decade, yes, yes, yes: '60s. It was a sort of little revolution; the clothes were amazing but not too exaggerated.
