The main points expressed by Woolnough in this article are a description of the main trends, colours, textures and shapes of 1970s clothing, the attitudes of empowerment that underpin these styles, and the style icons, designers and television programs that were influential at the time. Most of the text is made up of quotes from current Australian fashion designers, Michelle Arrow, author of ‘Friday on our Minds’, and Paper Giants costume designer Nina Edwards. It is worth following up on these contributors’ works to gain a deeper understanding of the time period. This text is interesting because it challenges the reader to question the motives behind modern day recycling of old fashions. It also compares the success of the revivals of different eras, suggesting the reason may be to do with underpinning attitudes of the time period. This resource is less authoritative than the others included in the subject portal but provides a valid discussion of the various influences on women’s fashion during the 1970s. With this is mind it would be useful to provide researchers and indexers with background but should not be relied upon as a standalone resource.
