Eve-Marie Vartel-Edmond
by Rahel Deters,
In the 70’s people wore very fashionable clothes: they wore
Germany
very colorful and flowery shirts with trousers called “pattes
d’éléphant” in French, meaning “elephant legs”. These trousers
fit very tightly around the waist and thighs and were looser
at the bottom. They are called “flares” or “bell-bottoms” in
English. The afro hairstyle was also very popular at the time.
In the ancient world, the miniskirt was a garment worn
by men. In the 60s, Mary Quant made the miniskirt
fashionable for women, using design from André
Courrèges, but making his skirts even shorter.
A provocation
Many people considered the new garment as a kind of
provocation and disrespectfulness, but for others it was an
expression of women´s self-confidence that grew by freeing
themselves from traditional and antiquated views concerning
the role of women. In 1966, Mary Quant was even honoured
with the „Order of the British Empire“.

MUSIC
This type of music is a subgenre
of house music. Electro house is
gradually and quickly becoming more

also known as Dance Music. People

INTEGRATION
First we decided
to introduce ourselves to
each other through cuisine.
Each country brought a little
something for everybody to
get the taste of their culture.
The main point of the late
evening was a role play of the
very famous ‘I’m flying Jack!’
scene from the movie Titanic.
All students, previously
divided into international
groups of 11, received the
scripts in order to translate
them into their own languages
and present in to the
audience. It was brilliant to
see the scene enacted in 10
different languages!
