"Winter Trends" (1970)

Confession time: I either love the fashions of the seventies or (more often) hate them.  Either way, my reaction is seldom indifference.  This example, from right at the beginning of the decade, falls squarely into my "love" category.

It certainly catches the eye!  The colours are vivid (and coordinated!) and the line is simple.  The bold geometric pattern on the jacket and skirt is striking but simple.  (This in contrast to many of the patterned styles prevalent in the seventies where a variety of different patterns in clashing colours were mixed together.)  All in all you could wear this outfit today—though you might want to change a few of the accessories!

A paragraph inside the magazine tells us that this was part of "the Italian collections", but alas, it doesn't name the designer.
