CWS Styling Event: "All about the 70's" ♥ "Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin' Alive."

by Becky Kénaan 

In the 1970s, African-American and Hispanic communities across the United States popularized a music genre that became known as 'Disco.' 

The 70s was all about freedom and being natural. 

Thanks to the Woodstock generation  of the late 1960s, there was much talk about free love, and the freedom of expression to be whoever you wanted to be. 

The disco craze resulted in creating a popular dance club disco culture, enabling the participants to be part of it's atmosphere of strobe lighting, mirror balls, and spotlighting. 

Throughout the 1970s, dance enthusiasts gyrated to the tunes of disco songs performed by the Bee Gees, Donna Summers, and The Jacksons. Films like "Saturday Night Fever"  with John Travolta emphasized how important it was to "let loose" and release all of that pent up energy in you from the work-week and "Do the Disco" over the weekend.

My ensemble emulates this disco look of 1970s, which began with a continuation of the bell-bottoms and the androgynous appearance from the late 1960s. 

The Afro hairstyle was popular in the 70s. Also known as the “natural” or the “fro,” this hairstyle left its indelible mark on the fabric of America and on African-American culture in particular.

My apparel includes bell-bottom light denim jeans, platform shoes (which appeared on the fashion scene in 1971), a loose-fitting colorful crop top layered over a silver-sequined top.

Bling was also popular at the Clubs. 
I wore silver metallic pendent earrings with a matching pendent necklace and ma' funky Glamazon glasses to be so cool!! 

       

...Hit it, Bee Gees!

        "Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother

        You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive...

        

        Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'

        Stayin' alive, stayin' alive...

        

        Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

        Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive..."
