BOTM: Guilty as charged: 1970s fashion felonies! Our latest blog puts the Grattan catalogues on trial for #EYAcrimes of #Fashion buff.ly/TYjzpe1 But behind the satire lies a rich resource of 1970s trends. #historicfashion @librarydmu.bsky.social #NationalYearofReading @exploreyourarchive.bsky.social

Robert Emond dressed as a fantasy medieval Mediterranean pirate.l in an outfit made by Lisa Emond. It consists of blue striped pants, a puffy white pirate shirt, a silver brocade vest, black and gold brocade Middle Eastern open jacket, & green satin sash. He's aiming a matchlock pistol off camera. Photo by Lisa Emond.
From a fashion style perspective I’m in the wrong century. Here are a few outfits I think I look good in, a high bar to reach (I’ve always disliked my looks). The common thread is Lisa made all of these. Alt for details.
