1970s and Minimalism

In my point of view, the age of 1970s is essential in fashion, especially the minimalism. Moreover, I would like to discuss the influence of minimalism now. In fact, Roy Halston Frowick, known as Halston, was an important designer of the 1970s, and he was the original minimalist. Halston was known as a master of minimalism for his sleek designs and solid colors, the works of Halston look as fresh and modern today.Until today, we have found a lot of fashion designers who were affected because of minimalism. In this season, minimalism really goes back and brings us more interest and creation. Alexander Wang, who was born in 1984, is a very young but great American desginer. In his works, it is obvious to see the trace of minimalism. The difference between Halston and Alexander Wang is the color. Moreover, we know Halston had a fresh and colorful style in his clothes. However, in this season, Alexander Wang focused on the light color, especially he used a lof of white in his designs. Anyway, even though Alexander Wang is so young in the fashion world, he was still deeply affected by the minmalism of 1970s. In the future, I believe minimalism is never out of fashion becasue it si simple and elegant.
