I Love 1977

Disco

Disco fashion peaked with the release of seminal dance movie Saturday Night Fever. Shiny white polyester pants shot off the shelves like they were going out of fashion - which they very soon would be.

A scare that cotton produced skin allergies led to more and more polyester double knit items being bought.

And, perhaps more as a result of static than fashion, bouffant Farah Fawcett hair became terrifyingly popular.
