ALMOST FAMOUS

Almost Famous (2000) is a comedy-drama film that tells the story of William Miller, a fifteen year old boy determined to become a music journalist. While trying to get into a Black Sabbath concert, he meets Penny Lane, the leader of the Band-Aides, a group of girls that tour with the band to support the music. William is spellbound by Penny, who quickly becomes the heart and soul of the movie.

Almost Famous is a movie about people following rock bands 70s, and everything that happens along the way. Kate Hudson’s character, Penny Lane, plays a groupie that has an awesome taste in fashion. Her wardrobe is full of looks straight out of the 70s, rocker chic meets hippie with a touch of glamour and confidence. Penny Lane’s dark green suede coat, embroidered and edged with Mongolian trim fur is unforgettable, as well as the Levi’s, floral peasant tops and Moroccan jewelry.

The style is very wearable, by incorporating elements of the early 70s rock era with vintage flowers, classic flared jeans, Elton-John like sunglasses, a furry jacket, and many different styles of boots.


Stella McCartney for Chloe has a collection that has a 70s vibe. In her 2000 Fall collection, she drew inspiration from her childhood memories of the 70s and 80s. Since the self-proclaimed “Rock Princess” impressionable years moved to a disco beat, so did the collection. There was the winter cover-up in off-white “Afghan lamb” fake fur over a skimpy dress. Dresses were embellished with Art Deco beading.
