Since when does one magazine article constitute the revivial of a trend or fashion in a society?

(Unless I'm mistaken and tons of young ladies in France have taken to wearing bell bottoms, Farrah hair, and all that??)

Madonna Brings Back The Disco Look in France - from Drowned Madonna; blog entry has scan from magazine in France about Madonna's 1970s look.

As I've pointed out, one indication of several that Madonna's star power has faded greatly is that she's no longer the trend setter she once was.

At least in America, one usually does not see many young people trying to dress or look like her, not anymore, not since the mid 1980s.

The Drowned Madonna fan site is sure trying hard to make it look like Madonna is still a trend-setter.

I don't live in France, so I can't say how truly "influential" the Venereal Girl has been in regards to reviving the disco look there.

I can tell you that I haven't seen the 1970s disco look revived in the USA, not in the way Madonna is doing it.

It seems to me that starting in the 1990s, that some 1970s related fashions came into vogue again, and it wasn't due to Madonna.

I remember going to the mall and seeing bell bottom pants in the store windows and other '70s styled clothing. Madonna hopped on to that trend in the early or mid 1990s in her "Girlie Show" tour.

Madonna Brings Back Disco Look in France
  • After The Disco Look, The Dance, Guess What ?... The Roller-skate !

    After the return in France of the Disco Look (see here), the Dance (read here), now it's the Roller-skate ! It appeared in an ad published in the latest issue of ELLE magazine, showing how Madonna's influence is big !

    [snip Swatch ad scan]

    Also in ELLE an article telling all about the disco back in France thanks to Madonna and an article about Jean-Paul Gaultier who also designed Joaquim Cortés's costumes for his new show "Mi Soledad". Cortés and Madonna attended together the JP Gaultier's fashion show in Paris last January.

Yes, the 70s bellbottoms came back in during the early 90s, I bought a pair way back when I would go clubbing sometimes. Then "That '70s Show" really pushed the fad, and you started seeing 70s hair and clothes everywhere on teens and young college puddins. NOW she wants to make people think SHE brought it back? She's ten years (at least) behind the fad.
As for the French, well I risk ticking off people, but the French have long been rumored to have less than great hygiene skills, plus they still think Jerry Lewis is the funniest thing on earth. No wonder they like her, if it's true. I doubt it is though, or all the French mags would have tons of pics of the clothes on people. Even in France, hot pink leotards just won't ever make it big.

That's funny; those models aren't wearing the Farrah hair-style..it's more like Ronald McDonald. Ah, now I see Madonna's influence...

Hmm, one of us should've caught this.

This magazine article, with accompanying photos, demonstrates that Madonna's current 1970s look is not what she actually looked like in the 1970s.

These days, she's wearing weird leotards with fishnet stockings that are capri length, with long, flat hair.

In the 1970s, she had short, brown hair and didn't exactly dress the same.

France can have her. They're apparently too busy protesting the idea of work to pay attention to what she's wearing this month.

Oh yes, the young 'uns in France are upset that they are not guaranteed jobs, (or that they get to keep a job, if they do get one).

(Don't most Europeans work less than 40 hrs a week? I just saw on t.v. the other day that although officially most Americans are expected to work 40 hrs per week, that many go over that in put in 60 or more hours. I had to work 40 hrs per week at my last job, sometimes I went over that.)

Anyway, since so many of the French whipper snappers can't get jobs, they won't be able to afford Confessions Tour tickets. So sad. :laugh:

P.S. the kiddos in France should be thrilled now, just saw this on Google News:
