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.
