Luxury living: 13 ways to be in the '70s retro resort' moment
From psychedelia to tropicalia, what's old is new again (and again) in the world of fashion.
Let’s face it. The ‘70s has been having a moment for quite some time, which is why the fashion cognoscenti created a micro-moment – ‘70s retro resort.
Call it a trend within a trend or simply a clever way to embrace an era defined by bricolage. Artisanal accents, trippy psychedelia references bougie vacation prints combine to create a holiday capsule wardrobe aesthetic with a throwback twist.
Think Jane Birkin meets Donatella Versace and get packing.
