. 70’s-inspired fashion is so on trend that there’s now a whole new women’s clothing line dedicated to nostalgia for the decade. On February 1st, new contemporary brand LAND of distraction launched its inaugural collection self-described as “for the thrill seekers, the rule breakers, the path finders.” The brand combines a retro cool-girl attitude with gritty Southwest flare in a collection that definitely takes some risks.
