I've been keeping note whenever I've encountered findings...

Necklace by Hawkwind / pins by Happy Owl Glassworks (By God if they aren't serious... )

i have this in gold w/ black eyes.
paul & joe's line for target had tons of owl clothing. i got a pair of their jeans with owl heads embroidered on the pockets. i still see owl-inspired things, so i guess the trend is going strong.

^ i got it at forever 21 for about $5 USD. it's really inexpensive. hope you find one.

I think owls are being replaced by Whales/marine life. i've been seeing quite a few whale, octopus, fish, seahorse, seaweed, etc prints around my city. Plus Missoni Menswear had a lot of marine print shirts and Libertine's collection for Target has those whale print shorts.

owls and marine prints were VERY popular in the mid late 70s OMG , esp in 1975-1976..esp on tshirts and jewellry exactly like that one above !

Seems owls are the most versatile animal. You can find them on anything! Seriously... I think owls fall right behind apples or something.

i wonder why owls were popular in the 70s-- i used to thrift store shop alot more and there were always a ton of dangly owl pendants from the 70s... what was it about owls and the 70s...?

a hippie on acid realizes the howl of the owl is matter condensed into a slow vibration.....


naw, but owls make pretty sounds and look cool. the whole aves class is arguably the most physically beautiful animals on earth.

hedwig, just one of the famous owls in history.
another famous owl, Mr. Owl of the Tootsie Pop fame.
i blame the 70's owl trend on Mr. Owl, his tootsie commercial did first air in 1970.

i have just heard, from a friend who's a consultant for a trend forecasting/pr agency that works closely with all the fashion conglomerates, that the owl will be replaced by emu's beginning early next year..
