HAUTE COUTURE BRIDAL OF THE 1970s

The 1970s. Considered by some fashion critics as a dry period in chic, there were indeed pockets of creativity. While the world exploded politically and socially in the 1960s, bridal fashion stayed pretty much restricted and traditional through the early to mid-70s.  On the other hand, the seventies era is known primarily for a wild and off-beat chic that sometimes made its way into bridal wear.   Thanks to some savvy designers, the funk was fine-tuned into high fashion.  For me, this era was politically charged enough to invariably spill over into haute couture.
