 Steele explores fashion in the 1970's, and the multitude of trends that appeared over the decade. The author uses references to many fashion trends during the 1970's to provide a deep insight into what the trends were, and how they came to be. The article covers some of the most popular trends within the decade. The article is useful for research related to international fashions in the 1970's, as it provides a clear and informative breakdown of the most popular trends of the era. As the article covers multiple trends across the decade, the author provides a basic breakdown of the trends. While the information provided is good for context building, and as a starting point for each of the trends, it is not too in-depth for each of the trends. Despite this, the article aids our research on the 1970's and international trends well, and provides solid international context.
