1960-1970

There were many changes in Fashion in the 1960's. You can clearly see these changed if you look back throughout the past decades. Bold print and bright colours were introduced. There were multiple choices of designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Biba, Givenchy,Pierre Cardin, Mary Quant and many more. The Fashion industry started to grow bigger and new trends started the glam rock sixties. 

Fashion became a lot more open, the youth were now very important in the fashion industry not just the mature and wealthy. Designer Mary Quant is famous for producing the skimming mini skirt that set 6 or 7 inches above the knee. This trend took off for young people, partly because it was so different and the youth and young adults tended to wear is, due to how controversial it was. Women were showing a lot more skin, the fashionable trend of knee high boots that provided a glove-like-fit, covered up the leg up the knee. A very sexy look.

Music influenced fashion as rock and pop became popular in 1960'S Britain, therefor it began fashion and music were linked. More people began to develop their own individual sense of style. The sixties is often known for introducing the hippie look and some still like that style today. 

The most famous female fashion icon in the 1960's would have to be the model Twiggy. Twiggy became the face of fashion from 1966, at the young age of 16. she grow into a international supermodel and many young women desired to look like her and to have her sense of style, with her boyish haircut and striking eye lashes. What i admire about twiggy is how even she had retired from modeling she still shows an interest in the fashion industry, since 2005, twiggy has been acting as the face of Marks&Spencer in their advertising campaigns.
