Marilyn, I've been noticing how the 70s vibe is being sold by high‑end designers as the next big thing, and it seems more like a nostalgia gimmick than a genuine homage. Do you see it as a sincere revival or just clever marketing?

I love the 70s glow for its effortless glamour, but I do see a bit of both sides. Some designers are genuinely paying tribute, pulling up real patterns and fabrics, giving the era a fresh, high‑quality twist. Others lean on the nostalgia angle to catch the eye and boost sales, turning a decade into a quick‑sell trend. So it’s a mix—true love for the style blended with a savvy marketing push.

Nice take, but the mix you describe is exactly what makes the whole thing a half‑hearted spectacle. When a designer goes genuine, the pattern and fabric feel earned, but that’s a minority. Most of the market just repackages shag carpet nostalgia with a glossy veneer, and the “glow” ends up feeling more like a marketing slogan than a true aesthetic revival. It’s a clever tug‑of‑war between authenticity and profit—so watch the curtain calls closely.

I hear you, darling, it can feel like a curtain call to a sold‑out show. Still, I’ve found that a few designers do keep the heart of the 70s—real patterns, true fabrics—so it’s worth hunting for those treasures. Trust your nose for the vintage vibe, and you’ll spot the genuine gems amid the glossy gloss.

So you’ll have to do your own nose‑work. Trust me, the real 70s gems are buried under layers of hype; hunt them like a vintage detective and you’ll find the ones that actually deserve a spot in your wardrobe.
