It seems the 60s and 70s were the darling times, now being emulated by this season's fashion designers. Teens and young sophisticates oohed and aahed as the loose-fitting, free-flowing garments with large flowery designs and geometric patterns, like so many psychedelic colored balloons, bounced along the runway.
But wait, the women and men who survived those times need to explore their attics and closets in search of those old favorite caftans, breezy sleeved blouses, flowing skirts. Even jumpsuits and wide-legged pants are back for Fall/Winter 2008.
If you weren't excited about them then, and care not to repeat that era, have a yard sale, or pass them on to those envious youngsters who long to partake of the "good old days. As Alex Beam said this week in his International Herald Tribune article on politics, "Objects in the rear view mirror appear far grander than they really were." And so it must be true.
