5 Ways To Channel A Mid-Century Mod Mood

Make like @__maxinewylde and throw it back with retro prints, 70s-inspired colour blocking and nostalgic shapes made new. 

Mid-century modern design is making waves not only in furniture and homewares but also in fashion, so who better to show us how it’s done than Melbourne-based content creator Maxine Wylde. If you’ve ever stumbled across her YouTube, TikTok or Instagram feed @__maxinewylde you’d know she’s an expert at marrying bold outfits with interiors and makeup too. Here are 5 ways to channel her mid-century mod vibe. 

70s-inspired Prints

From psychedelic swirls to chevron stripes, waves and florals, adding retro prints to your getup and home decor is the most obvious way to execute the trend.
