Top These John Travolta Trends!

Trends, be it as a sense in aesthetics or lifestyle choices, have a habit of being in a state of transience. They stay long enough to please the audience and then transform into something that fits the times. Perhaps, this fleeting aspect of our senses gives our appetizers a unique flavor at any certain point in time, setting it apart from other very different flavors of the past or of the future to come. Trends in fashion are not any different.

• The 1970’s witnessed a clothing style unlike no other. Spearheaded by the film icon John Travolta in ‘Saturday Night Fever’, people came to know Disco as never before, as much as they also came to know the uncomfortable nature of skin tight pants, slinky shirts and platform shoes. That might have been one reason as to why the wave that swept up the nation on its feet receded so quickly. Travolta’s career has extended to four decades now, each time morphing with the drift of times making him one of the very accomplished men in his profession. However, his most devoted fans would know that he made his first start in Television.

• Travolta reigned the age of 1970s and he sure was one of the most popular starts of Hollywood. If you thought looking cool at the age of forty in bikes was mission impossible, you just need to look at Travolta in the “Wild Hogs”. He has set a unique example in leatherwear. The age of 1970 saw this star in the “Saturday Night Fever” for which he was awarded the Oscar.

• As it happens to most actors, John Travolta faced a low tide in his career after the seventies. Hell broke loose after “urban cowboy”, which was widely appraised. He would miss part in movies that would go on to make big money and his films seemed to face a string of successive commercial flops. His acting career looked like all but over. Although “look who’s talking” somewhat resurrected him from his stupor, it so far detached him from the Travolta people knew and loved that the film was assumed to be a stroke of luck.

• In a way, Quentin Tarantino brought John Travolta back to life by casting him in ‘pulp fiction’, his role now tuned more in consonance with the characters he played in the seventies. The film would lead him to be nominated for an Oscar for the second time bringing him back to the fore. He would then star in “get shorty” which was well acclaimed and also a stint in a musical “hairspray”.

However, when you think of Travolta, seldom do you ever imagine him without his stud leather motorcycle jacket . He also would look great in John Deer Boots...or just about anything, eh?
