THE 1970s were a huge mix of fashion, that fell into three main categories – Boho, Disco and Glam Rock.

Glamour was represented by Bianca Jagger, who was married to Mick Jagger wearing a white Yves Saint Laurent Le Smoking jacket and skirt, and the doyennes of Studio 54,including Debbie Harry and Grace Jones.

They wore slinky Halston dresses and designs by Caroline Herrera and Yves Saint Laurent.

Musically, John Lennon and Yoko Ono exemplified the hippies, while David Bowie was an androgynous glam rock influence on both sexes.

Siouxsie Sioux fronted Siouxie and the Banshees, with amazing, over the top hair and makeup.

Inspirational films: Diane Keaton in Annie Hall wore long, loose hair, with loose men’s shirts and wide trousers, epitomising New York Cool.

Ali McGraw in Love Story also had long, straight hair, which she wore with long scarves and peasant blouses.

54 is a chronicle of Studio 54’s heady days, with faithful costumes of the rich and outrageous.

Makeup: No makeup at all, or lots of glitter and false eyelashes. Smokey eyes in different colours, not just classic grey, and a gently shimmering lip colour was a popular look.

Shoes: Platform shoes, platform boots, platform sandals… all of various heights, some quite dizzying.

While brown and black was still the basic colour scheme, some striking psychedelic purples and yellows, oranges and browns or red and white were popular, and glitter was liberally applied to footwear, as everywhere else.

Trainers, for men and women, began to be introduced as a fashion, not merely an athletic, item.

For the downtown disco look, sequins, lycra, jumpsuits and hotpants were the height of cool.

Many of these, particularly jumpsuits, are now a mainstay in modern fashion but there's nothing quite like the original.
