# Quirky 70s Collections Diane Keaton Inspires the Boy by Band of Outsiders Pre-Fall Collection By Rebecca Byers | Published 2011-12-23 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keatons-1970s-wardrobe-still-inspiring References: [fashionista](http://fashionista.com/2011/12/boy-by-band-of-outsiders-pre-fall-2012-daine-keaton-circa-manhattan-gets-an-update/) & [bandofoutsiders](http://www.bandofoutsiders.com/) Boy by [Band of Outsiders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jacksontriggs-niagara-estate-amphitheatre)’ designer Scott Sternberg has found inspiration for his Pre-Fall 2012 collection in Diane Keaton’s wardrobe from Woody Allen’s 1979 film Manhattan. Although Sternberg is LA-based, Keaton’s character Mary’s wardrobe is all about 1970s New York City, and that is apparent in the collection. While her wardrobe in Manhattan is a bit of a subdued version of her own fashion sense, it serves well as the inspiration for the Boy by Band of Outsiders [pre-fall 2012 collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefall-2026-collection). Keaton’s personal style has long been inspiring, but her style in the 70s in particular continues to inspire fashionistas everywhere attempting to tackle the [menswear look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles), with Annie Hall becoming almost synonymous with the chic, tomboy look that truly is timeless. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **70s Fashion Revival:** There is an opportunity to revive and modernize iconic 1970s fashion trends for a new generation. - **Influencer-inspired Collections:** Designers can draw inspiration from iconic film characters and celebrities to create unique and nostalgic collections. - **Gender-blurring Fashion:** The trend of embracing menswear-inspired fashion continues to appeal to fashionistas seeking a chic and tomboyish style. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can tap into the nostalgia and popularity of iconic 70s fashion trends to attract customers and create innovative collections. - **Film and Entertainment:** Film studios and fashion designers can collaborate to create limited-edition collections inspired by iconic film characters. - **Retail:** Retailers can cater to the growing demand for gender-neutral fashion by curating a selection of gender-blurring clothing and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Cult Film-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1.md) - [Stylish City-Inspired Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection.md) - [Retrospective Chic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefall-2026-collection.md) - [90s Grunge-Inspired Fall Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection.md) - [Reprised Fall Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-reimagines-autumnal-fashion.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Offbeat Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md)
