An otherwise pleasant stroll up Madison Avenue one recent Sunday turned into a 1970s flashback for Ralph Auriemma, the creative director of classic-suit purveyor Paul Stuart. Gazing into the windows at Prada’s New York store, Mr. Auriemma saw male mannequins clad in bell-bottom corduroys, fur belts and fuzzy angora sweaters, all hallmarks of that stylistically divisive decade. [horrified emphasis added]
I avoided the shame of the 1970s by being a child in that decade. I will not relive it now.
Not that I'm particularly proud of the very short cut-off jeans I wore in the 1980s, mind you ...
