Abbey Lee Kershaw by Nicole Bently for Vogue Australia November 2010
The glamour and luxury of ‘70s disco is back. The November issue of Vogue Australia features Abbey Lee Kershaw in feathers, sequins, and gold in sexy sihouettes. This new trend is reminiscent of the new ladylike hemlines and accessories, but more opulent.
The editorial is striking not only because of the styling, but the backlighting makes Kershaw glow. In this first photo, Kershaw’s piercing eyes may be the first thing you notice, but the Gucci sequined dress with feather detail makes a close second. The combination of textures is so chic right now.
Wide leg pants with heels is a great way to achieve a long, slim silhouette. The stylist paired the Gianfranco Ferré wool pants with a leather top. The mix of materials makes for a look worthy of ‘70s fashion icon Bianca Jagger.
Finally, a textured Scanlan & Theodore dress paired with a gold Salvatore Ferragamo belt looks sexy, yet polished. The draped back gives an unexpected glimpse of skin. With the revival of the ‘70s, it shows that nothing ever goes out of style forever. So, start rummaging for vintage finds to get an authentic retro look.
