The high life: Relive the seventies with this smoky fashion trend

Style really has gone to pot this season. Marijuana motifs have sprouted up on luxe items of all sorts, including Jacquie Aiche’s snakeskin ganga clutch and Lucien Pellat Finet’s rainbow-leaf cashmere sweater. 

Blame fashion’s current fixation on all things seventies. Celebrities such as Miley Cyrus and Rihanna have also played a part in positioning reefer as a style meme: The former has been photographed in sativa-inspired earrings and boots; the latter’s look often includes a nod to her smoky pastime (for instance, the Raf Simons sweatshirt she was recently snapped in). 

Even The Body Shop’s latest Soap On A Rope, made from hemp-seed oil, comes in a cheeky, weedy shape. Turning over a new leaf, it seems, has never been more fashionable (or less controversial).
