Some fashion items have arrived just in time for the latest spring styles that lean toward another wave of looks from the 1970s. From runway stages in Milan, Paris, and New York, we’ve seen wide-leg denim, chunky wooden platform shoes, slouchy leather, low-slung bags, and head scarves—all part of vintage looks with a modern twist.
Gwyneth Paltrow was seen at a film premiere on the red carpet in a fabulous one-piece jumper that exuded 1970s disco style. When paired with the right accessories, her look can be easily pulled together for your night on the town.
Let’s start with the hair. What started out as a few sisters having fun with hair extensions turned into the brand name Fine Featherheads, a nationwide, red-hot trend alert for the young, the old, and rock stars alike. If you’ve been watching “American Idol,” you can catch the newest hair accessories on funky judge Steven Tyler, as well as in the hair of half the female lineup.
Yes, the trend is feathers, and they are literally flying off the shelves of salons. Sold in “bunches” online on the Fine Featherheads website or in select salons throughout the country, the feathers are from farm-raised roosters. They are plucked, cleaned, colored, and treated to your liking before being braided into hair just like a standard hair extension. The result is a subtle pop of 1970s bohemian chic style.
