Fashion of 60's

1960s style clothing is a fashion treat for those with a discerning taste. It stayed on par with social tumults and broke many fashion traditions, especially in women’s wear. The decade ushered in bikinis, miniskirts, pillbox hats, drainpipe jeans, as well as polyvinyl carbonate (PVC) and paper dresses, go-go boots, paisley prints, and tie-dye.

The decade has also fostered a slew of stalwart couturier and fashion icons: Oscar de la Renta, Emilio Pucci, Hubert de Givenchy, Yves Saint-Laurent, Mary Quant, Pierre Cardin, Oleg Cassini, Jacqueline Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, Lee Radziwill, Vanessa Redgrave, Diana Ross, Jane Fonda, Anouk Aimee, Sophia Loren, and Catherine Deneuve to name a few. The sub-niches of 1960s clothing styles include the city gent look brought into existence by the Modernists, the androgynous hippie look, the space look, and, in the late 1960s, the skinhead fashion.
