I remember thinking "something is changing, something ugly that you could not have worn just became beautiful through no other action than the passage of time." The Window of Ugliness had closed, and suddenly paisley was vincent d'onofrio beautiful again.

So by the early 1980's the fashion of the early 1970's was almost too hideous to contemplate. And if you look back on contemporary accounts you'll see that people often talk in those terms about 70's fashion, about how much they reviled it and how incredibly horrible it was and nobody could believe that they would ever dress that way.
