L.A. Fashion Trend: Modern 70s Chic

Designers channel the 1970s’ spirit of revolution to change the status quo. After seasons of skinny jeans and androgyny, Spring’s new look takes cues from American sportswear's chic sophistication. A clean palette with tailored yet relaxed silhouettes marks a decided turning point in style.
