Perhaps more so than any other decade, the sixties had the broadest
impact on the twentieth-century Western world. Across society,
culture and the arts, youth voices rose to prominence and had a
significant influence on new trends. Mature polished elegance was
replaced by young liveliness as the fashionable ideal. Although
only the most daring young followers of fashion wore the tiny
miniskirts and borderline-unwearable plastic and metal outfits
publicised in the press, stylish and smart fashion was increasingly
available to all, with an emphasis on self-expression. New style
icons such as Twiggy combined girl-next-door looks with trendy,
aspirational and accessible outfits, and popular culture heavily
influenced mainstream fashion. This beautifully illustrated book
offers a concise guide to changing styles across the decade.
