Catalog Behind the Scenes: Morocco in the 1970s
There’s something surreal about these behind the scenes photos from our holiday catalog shoot in Morocco. The lighting, the colors, the vast open landscape, it almost seems like a different planet… where our team became desert warriors on a mission to shoot a beautiful catalog.
The stunning Tangier Maxi Poncho
All hands on Marianna :)
The Zig Zag Lurex Flares
Loving the car’s headlights :) This was also one of my favorite outfits from the book – I love the layering of the gorgeous fp spun fools gold crochet dress over the floral maxi, worn with the fp one sequin jacket and gola retro sneakers!
More creative layering: got rhythm velvet crop top over the fp one sequin cami over a vintage tee.
Desert warriors… aka the fp catalog crew :)

Free People Through the Decades: The 1970s
The 1970s has always been a decade that fascinates me – it was such an interesting time of change. So many life-altering events took place in the late sixties, that the 70s seemed like a period when people were a little “dazed and confused”, turning to new types of music, film, or travel as a form of escapism. Many writers and musicians traveled to Morocco, where we shot this decade of our holiday catalog – seeking a change of scenery and inspiration. Others turned up in droves at Studio 54, to enjoy the disco music craze and dance the night away. Fashion was all about personal expression – from sequins and flowing dresses to floppy hats and bell-bottoms to the menswear look made famous by Annie Hall.
