Skirt suits and\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecoordinating accessories were emphasized as one decade transitioned into the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst Lady Jacqueline Kennedy epitomized this look during her husband’s presidential\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecampaign and short presidency. She was admired around the world for her put-together, lady-like look consisting of boxy skirt-suits like the Givenchy suits and luxurious coats–all accessorized with white gloves, pearls, and a matching hat. This look was being produced by the likes of Hubert de Givenchy and Cristóbal Balenciaga but as the decade progressed, it became clear that the momentum was towards a new kind of designer in the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe late 60’s were the exact opposite. Bright swirling colours, psychedelic tie-dyed shirts and long hair and beards were commonplace. Women wore unbelievably short skirts and men wore tunics and capes. This foray into fantasy would not have been believed just one decade before.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cultural phenomenon termed Swinging London began in 1955 but reached its zenith in the early- to mid-1960s. It was a phenomenon that focused on youth, spotlighting music and fashion. It brought us The Beatles and the miniskirt, Twiggy and The Who. The designer who led the way in the “youthquake” was Mary Quant who opened her first shop, Bazaar, on the King’s Road in Chelsea, London in 1955. Quant’s simple, colourful designs appealed to teenagers and young people who had more disposable income than any generation before. It differed from the stuffy looks of the older generation and appealed to young women who embraced the child-like styles Quant produced. Fashion historian James Laver writes of Quant in Costume and Fashion: A Concise History,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn enduring icon of the 1950s and ‘60s, movie star Audrey Hepburn embraced the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eprogression of sixties fashion up to the hippie aesthetic of the last part of the decade. Having firmly established herself as a leading lady in 1950s films like Roman\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHoliday, Sabrina, and Funny Face, Hepburn’s influence continued into the sixties.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 1961, she starred as Holly Golightly in one of her most iconic films, Breakfast at\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTiffany’s In this film, like so many others, Hubert de Givenchy designed the costumes, including the iconic black dress from the opening scene. Hepburn and Givenchy worked together both on- and off-screen to create a simple, but stylish wardrobe that was easily copied by women of all means.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the early 1960s, Hepburn wore feminine, Jackie Kennedy-esque skirt suits. Like the First Lady, she paired these suits with the requisite accessories: gloves and hat, like the green Givenchy suit worn in Paris When It Sizzles in 1962 (Fig. 18). The clothes she wore in 1963’s Charade would not have looked out of place on Kennedy but also cut a stylish figure as she gallivanted through Paris. As the decade progressed, so did her fashion. In the mid-sixties, Hepburn began to wear more “Mod” styles with bright colours and minidresses working their way into her wardrobe. In the 1966 film How to Steal a Million, she sported white-rimmed sunglasses à la Space Age styles and a stylish bob hairstyle accented by dark eyeliner to give her the popular doe-eyed look of the period\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThough she would remain admired for her fashion for the rest of her life, by 1969, when the fashion world had started to turn to Eastern influences and longer skirts, Hepburn married Andrea Dotti in a pink minidress. Looking happy, she represented the part of the population, including couture designers like Givenchy, who had not yet embraced the new style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is an excerpt fomhttps:\/\/fashionhistory.fitnyc.edu\/1960-1969\/\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquarian Print Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39504651223126,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1617\/1641\/products\/Fashion_20_215x337mm.jpg?v=1628829118","url":"https:\/\/antiquarianprintshop.com\/products\/fashion-of-the-60s-new-lines-from-the-fashions-in-vienna-mode-studio-614-1965","provider":"Antiquarian Print Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
