Intimate Photos Capture Young People of the UK at Home Parties in the Early 1970s
There’s a reason the 1970s continue to be one of the most stylish decades of all time. From flares and bell sleeves to shearling coats and miniskirts, the era birthed an eclectic mix of style influences that evolved quickly over the 10-year span.
Skirts got shorter, boots got taller, and a range of style icons like Jane Birkin and Jean Shrimpton helped spearhead some of the most memorable fashion moments of that time. And the parties are the best occasion for people to show their fashion styles. These intimate photos from Michael G Spafford captured young people at Ashby High Street home parties in Scunthorpe from 1970 to 1972.
