Product Information

In celebration of their long-awaited comeback, Vogue looks back at their best fashion moments from the 1970s. Looking for a great costume for the Abba Festival in Trundle, then team up our Poncho with the Dancing queen wig for your 70's look. Here’s Agnetha, the main icon of ABBA back in the 70s showing some skin without the obnoxious touch, on a tour in Australia, in a two piece bikini. Most of Abba's looks to come were masterminded by Owe Sandström, a Swedish high-school teacher with a knack for fashion design. Wear them with bell bottom pants, hot pants, boyfriend shorts or even with long flowing skirts, keeping the midriff zone exposed for a sassy look!

From skinny scarves and embellished double denim to platform shoes and animal prints, Sandström revelled in all the major trends of the decade while stealing references from traditional attire—think Japanese kimonos, flamenco costumes and Swedish folk outfits—to create Abba's signature style. Under the name Artist Dressing and with his partner Lars Wigenius, he created some of the band's most memorable outfits and the group's tour costumes, including the triumph of spandex in shades of blue, purple and white designed for the 1979 tour, and Agnetha's white jumpsuit with ruffled trousers and sleeves, completed with an emerald green cape rimmed with white feathers for the 1974 European and North American tour.Our ABBA icon, Agnetha shows us how back then they would use a mix of shines and mattes in one shade to create oomphatic ABBA dress up ideas while performing live on stage! Swinging on the upbeat notes of “Waterloo” played by their other halves Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad appeared on stage in full 1970s glamour—Agnetha donning a cobalt blue bomber jacket in velour with matching satin pantaloons and sparkly cap; Anni-Frid wearing a swooshing, floor-sweeping skirt made of white and orange panels topped with a white jacket with large orange cuffs and collar. From Zeenat Aman to Parveen Babi, Shabana Azmi to Smita Patil, Helen to Rekha and the leading ladies of the 70s and 80s, everyone wore the ABBA fashion brand like there is no tomorrow.

Much on the lines of the Grecian goddess, back in the 70s the ABBA team wore silk rompers with a modern twist to the Grecian goddess drape and look! But wait, pub hoppers and PYTs whose parents have been the pub hoppers too, would know who ABBA is, and their sense of fashion too. Now what you choose to wear under this cape is entirely up to you but a pair of knee length disco boots in white or silver will make the outfit look spectacular. Mostly paired with long skirts or cotton bell bottoms, the look came complete with ankle length boots.With one performance they dazzled the public, brought home the title and began their implacable climb to the top of the international music charts. White knee-length boots were a must-have in every fashionistas wardrobe back then, and the lighter in shade the better it was supposedly as a statement to make. ABBA fashion was a rage back then, with peppy numbers flowing through them and the styles emulated all across the world, including the Indian fashion scenes too. Back in the 70s, the cross top draped cotton shirts were a huge hit, and most of them came in dark self-colored versions with etchings of floral touches to the hemlines and the collars only or the cuffs of the top too.
