A captivating look at Parisian fashions of the 1960s and how the
ready-to-wear revolution influenced haute couture The 1960s was one
of the most exciting periods in fashion history, as shifting
cultural paradigms were embraced by a generation of designers that
challenged conventions and reinvented the fashion industry. This
compelling volume focuses on the important but too often dismissed
fashions that were created in Paris during this time. From the
early couture designs of Yves Saint Laurent that initiated a trend
toward a more relaxed and youthful style, to the popularity of
ready-to-wear fashions by Emmanuelle Khanh - part of a new group
known as the stylists - this book traces the development of
Parisian fashion during the 1960s and its continuing legacy.
Colleen Hill features eye-catching images from Elle and Vogue, as
well as stunning examples of fashion from The Museum at FIT's
world-class collection. She provides an in-depth look at the
combined influences of French haute couture, ready-to-wear, and
popular culture during this era. In doing so, she describes how the
dominance of haute couture was challenged by the ready-to-wear
movement, resulting in the rise of a vibrant, youthful, and modern
aesthetic in Parisian fashion. Published in association with The
Fashion Institute of Technology, New York Exhibition Schedule: The
Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York
