The return of disco

How about ending the year in a flurry of glitter, funk, pop and soul? The next best thing to time travel: take a journey back to the 70s, with their bright colours and psychedelic patterns.
Get the party (re)started!

In the 1970s, disco was an outlet for pent up energy and it would seem that this is the case once again in 2021. From French singer Juliette Armanet to Diana Ross and Abba, who just released a new album, it is impossible to ignore this timeless chapter of music history! 

Disco is becoming fashionable again for its nostalgic appeal,”, explains Roxane, A.K.A. Laroxstyle, on Instagram, a Lyon-based influencer and photographer who is a fan of vintage and ethical fashion: “The 1970s was all about colours, pop and beautiful patterns. It was also the period of our parents. There’s a kind of nostalgia today, where people are taking things from the past and bringing them up to date.”

Originally, disco had but one aim: to get people on the dance floor and keep them there. This musical genre, with its indisputably fun side, keeps the energy flowing and the passion burning. For Noémie, founder of the leather goods brand Rue Désirée, the return of disco is no coincidence: “Following this period of crisi, people need something cheerful and light-hearted. So, subconsciously, they are turning towards this fun and quirky genre.”

On the catwalks of Fashion Week, the look for next summer is all about colours, glitter, vinyl and glossy effects. Beginning with Isabel Marant. Looking good and feeling good. Can you feel the fever rising? Put on a record, unearthed at  The Sounds of Music Record Shop (13 rue Ferrachat, Lyon 69005) and get your boogie on!

Agenda

Lyon's Studio 54

Following the government's decision, this event has been cancelled.

The 25th of December is the most eagerly awaited time of year by children. However, this year, there is a treat for the grown-ups! For lovers of vinyl, DJ Pablo Valentino will be filling Le Sucre with the sounds of his funk and disco sets. Event title: All night long. Lionel Richie may not be able to make it, however.
