π Hello May! It's Eurovision time again! This year MalmΓΆ are hosting the contest and we will be celebrating the Gold Anniversary of ABBA and Waterloo too! It's fair to say that any Eurovision party on Sat 11th May will have a touch of ABBA about it!
π€©After their win in Brighton in 1974, ABBA became the 70s supergroup with the most flamboyant wardrobe. The creator of their costumes, Owe SandstrΓΆm, a flamenco-dancing-zoologist-designer was clearly inspired by his love of flamenco pieces and animals! But why were they so outrageous? Thanks to Swedish tax law for costumes, ABBA's stage clothes were outlandishly-designed on purpose...as long as the outfits were too impractical for every day wear and couldn't be worn outside a performance, they were tax-deductible!
π€© So what to wear for ABBA style? Can't go wrong in satin, sequins and stars with ruffles and flamenco sleeves, an Agnetha hat, pantaloons (!) flares and platforms...the more outrageous the better!
