Five Instagram accounts immortalising 1970s style

From The Runaways to the teenage Sex Pistols fans in their rooms, these archivists are collecting the most iconic snaps of the decade

It’s no secret that the 70s are having a moment – you only need to look at the flares, oversized glasses and pussybow blouses currently hitting the runways for Gucci to see that. But if off the runway looks are beyond your means, there’s plenty of style inspiration on Instagram, where a series of killer account are indulging our fashion nostalgia. With shots varying from kids on campus or rebel girl skaters hitting the ramps to stills from cult films set in the decade (Dazed and Confused, Taxi Driver, Almost Famous) and of music icons like The Runaways, David Bowie and 70s rock gods, there’s more than enough to inspire you. Here are five of our favourites that you should be following...
