Whether you were a child in the seventies (you need to read this) or busy working, you couldn't escape the technicolour adverts screaming from billboards, newspaper supplements and the pages of glossy magazines like our very own woman&home.
woman&home first went on sale in 1925 and, by the 1970s, its winning mix of delicious recipes, must-read features and wearable fashion and beauty trends was a hit. And who can forget those glorious patterns to knit your own tank top or bobble hat?!
