On weekends, Beijing was unbearably hot, and I walked into the cinema alone to watch Mamma Mia 2. There are not many people in the theater, and most of the people who come here are likely to be loyal fans. At the end of ABBA's famous song, when the actors sang "Meet Your Future Self" in unison, some audience members seemed to cry.
After 10 years of waiting, Mamma Mia 2 is finally here. Many people came to see the heroine Donna to see her love story when she was young.
In 1979, Donna, who graduated from Oxford University, was full of energy. She met three young men in Greece by herself, fell in love quickly, went to bed, and became pregnant, but she did not know who the father of the child was. She then stayed in Greece and raised the children on her own.
Blue sea and blue sky, beautiful singing and dancing, Donna wears the fashionable flared trousers, denim suits, overalls, striped pants, printed skirts of the 1970s, indulging in joy, the curly hair soaked by the sea breeze swirls recklessly with the dance steps, a powerful romantic nostalgic wind is surging. Come on, knock down everyone in the theater.
Even in the present moment, Donna's actions seem reckless, but rarely annoying. She is frank, enthusiastic, and regardless of her pursuit of happiness. She is the template of a young European and beautiful woman who pursued sexual liberation in the 1970s.
The times take over everyone. Who in this world is not a trainee? Even fashion is like that.
In the hot summer, allow us to occasionally peel, watch a "Mamma Mia 2", visit a few vintage stores, choose a few styles that can be worn, and show off the market beautifully.
The hipster spirit of the 70s: hippie, rock and disco
The fashion of the 1970s was born out of the spirit of the times.
In the 1970s, it was a crazy era that linked the past and the next. It said goodbye to the turbulent student movement in the 1960s, the hippie culture was flourishing and declining, the Vietnam War was deeply scarred, and the technological wave of the 1980s and 1990s was far from coming. Metallica, U2, Eagles and other famous rock bands were all born in the 1970s to vent the anger and exuberant energy of young people. The popular "Hotel California" was released in 1976, alluding to that wanton era.
All trends of thought are changing, only the sexual liberation movement continues to burn. Donna's rashness in choosing her boyfriend, and her optimistic and firmness in raising her children alone, all reflect the group portraits of independent women of that era.

Hippie, rock and disco constituted the fashionable keywords of the 70s, which were reflected in specific clothing, namely flared trousers, low-waisted leggings, striped trousers, platform shoes, and printed skirts.
Several old actors in "Mamma Mia 2", Aunt May (Meryl Streep, who plays the elderly Donna), Aunt Xue (Cher who plays Donna's mother, I have to call him Aunt Xue for the sake of unity) , Pierce Brosnan (playing one of Donna's boyfriends) has experienced that era first-hand, let's take a look at their old photos and tell you what is nostalgic fashion. Some clothes, really, can be worn even now.
Cool Aunt Xue, cowboy suit + cowboy hat.
The glamorous Aunt Xue, she loves navel-baring outfits.
Free and easy Aunt May's jumpsuit and riding boots.
Pierce Brosnan also wore wide-leg pants when he was young.
how about it? Kind of like the scene in Mamma Mia 2, right? Is there some collocation, can you still wear it out of the street now?
Quietly, Michelle Clapton, the costumer of Mamma Mia 2, turned out to be the costumer of Game of Thrones. She took this drama just for the tune of the "70s".
What's interesting is that the costumes are also bought from various vintage stores, the size is wrong, and they have to be made as they are, including the butterfly necklace that Donna has been wearing.
Three elements of retro style: horns, polka dots, printing
Watching "Mamma Mia 2" will make people unknowingly addicted to Donna's life, replicating the retro wardrobe of the 1970s. However, retro, not digging antiques, "like but different" is the highest state.
Those popular elements in the movie are still fashionable today, adding a little bit of elegance and subtlety.
classic stripes
When graduating, Donna and her friends wore striped clothes on stage to sing happily, and they were definitely the literary pacesetters on campus.
Stripes are the fashion of the 70s. Evolving to the present, a pair of elegant vertical striped wide-leg pants is the least picky, whoever wears it looks good.
denim flared pants
Young Donna sang "Waterloo" with a friend, wearing several popular elements, denim + flared pants + small waistcoat.
People's love for denim has never subsided. If you want to create a retro denim style, try to choose pure blue. Micro horn design, more classical charm. It's great to wear in summer with a simple white T and shirt, or a T-shirt with rock elements.
overalls
One of Donna's signature outfits is the cargo pants. Donna, who runs a hotel by the sea, wears a soft and big straw hat and walks on the beach, plain and casual.
As a girl in the 21st century, overalls can not only reduce age, but also can be on the elegant hall with proper matching. The actor Lily James, who plays the young Donna, has been making frequent appearances recently to promote new films, and every appearance is impressive. This cargo jumpsuit from denim label Frame completes the look with sparkly pumps.
printed skirt
In the movie, Donna and her good friends like to wear printed dresses and long skirts and jump around.
Speaking of which, I have to say that the "big take" of printing that emerged in the 1970s - DVF, is famous for its tea break skirts and characteristic prints. The picture below is a photo of the brand designer and founder Diane von Furstenberg in the 1970s, which is really beautiful. This brand is also sold at Vipshop.
Amanda Seyfried, who played daughter Sophie in Mamma Mia 2, and Lily James, who experimented with young Donna, put the print in a modern twist.
In Mamma Mia! Amanda Seyfried, who plays Donna's daughter, Sophie, made a stunning appearance in an Alexander McQueen dinner suit at the London premiere of ''. Flower embroidery adds a bit of femininity to the handsome, with bright lip color and full of mystery. Although this is not a standard retro print, the ingenious use of flowers is very colorful, appreciate it.
Regarding printing, Grid feels that it is still more temperamental. The facial contours of Asians are relatively flat, and large prints are easy to look tacky. A simple TIPS is to try to choose a slightly elegant color, or keep up with the makeup.
When it comes to retro wear, there is another element that cannot be skipped - polka dots. This is a trend that emerged in the 1950s. The polka dots have been on fire until now, and many star models have worn them.
A little hint is that the most classic and best to wear is black dots on a white background, and a shirt with this pattern should always be kept. Red and white points or black and white points are actually a bit picky, and you have to find the one that suits you.
And this denim dress from the 1970s, which is so feel-good, especially for summer. Let's enjoy it together.
Finally an Amway~~
Looking through a lot of information, I found that the old Bond Pierce Brosnan attended the London premiere of "Mamma Mia 2" with his wife. After 25 years of marriage, his wife's figure has been completely out of shape, but Brosnan and her are in love as ever, and photos of a family vacationing by the sea are often reported, and a handful of dog food is sprinkled. Perhaps, there is a taste of reliable man and love in this story.
