About the stamp design: Pictures a painting by Kazuhiko Sano. Includes the following text on the back: “Freedom and experimentation guided 1970s fashion.

First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Postage Stamp Mega-Event at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.
About the Celebrate the Century series: The USPS launched the Celebrate the Century series in 1998 to mark the end of the 20th century and herald the arrival of the 21st. The series includes 10 sheets of 15 stamps (150 in total), with each honoring important moments from a different decade (1900s, 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s). At the time of completion, it was the longest and most ambitious commemorative stamp series in US history.
History the stamp represents: Fashion styles of the 1970s were largely influenced by the trends of the 1960s. In the early 1970s, men wore their hair long, and women wore “hot pants,” which continued the trend started by the prior decade’s popular miniskirt. Platform shoes and clogs were fashionable, and bell-bottom pants and warm-up suits were worn by men as well as women.
Men wore “mod” suits, wide ties, trench coats, and casual turtleneck sweaters. Menswear also became popular for women, in part because of Woody Allen’s 1977 movie “Annie Hall.” The heroine, played by Diane Keaton, wore men’s tweed jackets, hats, and baggy pants.
Later in the decade, wearing clothes in the “punk” style became fashionable. Hair was worn short and spiky, or cut in a “Mohawk.” Followers of this style often dyed their hair vivid colors as well. Large metal zippers, chains, and safety pins were worn as fashion accessories.
Being extremely thin was popular during the 1970s. And in fashion modeling, Beverly Johnson became the first black person to be featured on the cover of Vogue magazine in 1974.
