Disco:
“During the 1970s in the US, disco consisted of futuristic and synthetic colorful materials that translated into the multiform character of disco dancing.” [1]
The first image above is a vintage men's 70s Butterfly collar disco shirt, exemplifying the use of futuristic and synthetic colorful materials at the time.
Gwen Stafani's L.A.M.B. Spring 2008 collection embraced the Disco theme by way of the futuristic prints as seen in the second image furthest to the left. Balmain's Fall 2009 look, the third image down, also showcases Disco looks by way of the synthetic and disco ball-esque material of the garment.
