At any age or stage, the feminine feel of an endless bow on that special white blouse never gets old. Check out the updated flair-leg pants. - Ian Allen/Staff Photographer

It is now a long-established fact that the wheels of fashion are constantly revolving and what was hot in the '70s is likely to be hot again in the 2000s. Nothing new is really created, it's simply a new spin on an old classic.

And for quite some time, the items in your mother's Wardrobe have been making it on the runways of the world in quick succession.

From platform shoes to wedge heels; straight-leg turned skinny jeans; A-line dresses to shifts; puff sleeves, bell bottoms rechristened wide-leg pants. Whether the names vary slightly or not, they are all back. And if you saved your grandmother's hot items, you can call it vintage.

This week, Flair catches up with fashion history with some looks from the past and how they have changed - or not!
