Agnetha, Part II

As promised, the Agnetha Faultskog blog post. A blonde, slightly bucktoothed beauty, compliments of Sweden. Within twenty years after her birth in 1950, she had topped the charts in Sweden of her own accord. In the summer of 1969, she met Björn Ulvaeus and the groundworks of ABBA was born. 

Anyways, this is just to show some of the more accessible photos of her and to describe how her fashion fit in the with the trends of the 1970s.

The female hairstyles of the early 70s were natural and long, with natural bangs (if any).

There was, of course, the disco fever: hot pants, spandex, stretchy sequined tops, lycra, belled sleeves and pants, gold lame, jumpsuits, platform soled shoes, and much more. Basically anything that would look flashy under a disco ball and bright lights.

Shorter skirts and dresses embraced the idea of greater female independence. Flowery prints of all types (this one looks like it could be upholstery for a couch or curtains...?) were frequently used. Full calf-length boots (platforms or not) were also very popular.

Sadly, I cannot fufill all the 1970s ideals for fashion, but I'm going to try my best. I will have a post up at least by next weekend of my costume for Halloween- Nick and I are going to a costume party Saturday night, so I'll have to be ready by then!

Time to write a paper about anti-Semitism in Italy in the mid 20th century and study for a biology lab practical. Oh, and take a chemistry quiz. Huzzah.

'Til then, my dears.
