ICI Fibres - 1970s Clothes Commercial

[charleem]

What with all the hair spray, crimplene and man made fibres floating about I don't know how anyone survived the 70's without bursting into flames, because a lot more people smoked back then too!

[Brazilianairess]

I bet this man knows who Number One is.

[roryphelan]

Psychedelic visuals,

camp moustaches,

retro clothes,

in a vintage advert...

THIS IS HIPSTER HEAVEN!

[Peacefuldiscourses]

Eerie...

[alanlovedog]

i want some trousers that move with me - but they must be in a pattern and colour i've never seen.

[DeadJerker]

Oh my god, what appalling spelling!

[DarkAngel182]

Oh my god, what appauling fashions!

[FaerieCrone]

Crimplene was the worst material ever invented.

[mooseofdance]

i'm not gonna buy your haunted dimension-warping clothes no matter how well-tailored they are

[robt135utube]

i was a kid who's mother was suckered into buying this shit for me and forced me to wear it to look 'smart, (but feel indescribably uncomfortable'). I'd happily go round to the old peoples home that's got the sucker that inflicted this on the world and make a few wardrobe choices on their behalf.

Fashion: But the hell is Teraline

[Andraste77]

The soundtrack is seriously nightmarish, though. Like something out of "Night Gallery."

[theENGLISHconection]

[theENGLISHconection]

[ryanthepunk2002]

This commercial greatly supports my theory that all people who lived through the 70s were constantly on PCP.......and enjoyed a good moustash ride.

[cosmicarbiteroftaste]

i wish he'd stop fingering his mustache.

[bondfool]

The new way to dress in a surrealistic existential hell is in ICI Fibres.

[robohobo1982]

Haha! Brilliant.

[soundsfc]

probably close to one of the best things I've ever seen...

[starkid77]

This seemed like an episode of Night Gallery, I was kinda scared, lol

[nsputnik]

@soundsfc

Sara I was just going to tell you about this video but I should have figured you had seen it!

[bravoncho]

I am really impress, It is like all understanding of fashion evolves on colective aware of people.

[thanos9760]

I thought I was tripping balls for a minute.

[jazzyfayy1983]

the twilight zone

[MegaAdizzle]

HAHAHAHAHAHA Ridiculous!!

[acdeucee]

Ron Jeremy supported this clothe line, as did John Astin

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

Wow! ICI really did know how to make a commercial seem surreal...

[AnthonyUK]

You should see if you can their Dulux Paint UK ads if you can find them;they're exciting and dramatic!

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

Are they as dramatic as this one?  This was dramatic!! LOL!

[AnthonyUK]

I had ICI terylene clothes in the 70's as a child!

[OofusTwillip]

Sure, those crease-free, drip-dry synthetics were easy-care, but they didn't "breathe", so they made you sweat like a pig! Give me silk and cotton any day!
