1970s designers that set the numerous trends of the decade
Halston
The definitive designer of the 1970s, Halston created almost every popular dress seen on the dance floors. His designs were perfect for dancing because of their draped and free moving construction without buttons or zippers. The halter and one shoulder style dress were his most replicated. Halston designed for many celebrities and was one of the first major designers to license his name, making his clothes more accessible to the masses.Missoni
Best known for knitwear and their bold, bright space dyed weave patterns. The Missoni zig zag pattern knit is instantly recognizable even today.Diane von Furstenberg

Von Furstenberg will forever be noted as the designer who made the jersey wrap dress a wardrobe essential. Though the kimono inspired wrap dress is her trademark, von Furstenberg influenced all dresses by establishing a standard for ease and comfort in women’s clothing.
