At the rock festival, the pop festival, the folk festival or the dance ...

“This is exciting,” said Mr. Warhol, as they trooped off to Halston’s party. “It’s really like the 6©’s.”

“. . . and when I say the old days I don’t mean the George M. Cohan days . . .”

You wouldn’t get an argument from me if you said the creepiest fashion decade of the 20th century was the 1960s. Think about it, if you can bear to. The 1970s actually began around 1968 because people were so desperate for the 60s to be over. All that tie-dye, batik, those headbands - they were so ... oh, were they boring. And if 70s “style” hasn’t given us anything more than fifteen minutes of platform shoes and a hot flash of sequins so far, I still think it’s an improvement. (Actually, I think the 70s ended in 1973.)
