There is a real reason why the Sixties are known as “swinging”. Although London was the place to be when the youth revolution clamoured through the streets which brought out the photography careers. These super trendy styles now have inspired the latest fashion trends.
Checkout how the Sixties cult classics influenced the latest fashion trends.
Color-Block Tights
If there is one prominent trait every film of the decade has, it is the bright block-colored tights Jane Birkin and Gillian Hills catwalked on the runaway. These were paired with a mini shift dress, a bright pair of tights or stockings. Thanks to Demna Gvasalia and his revamping classics at Balenciaga, those faintly sickly acid hues are back!
Cocktail Fringing
Enter Veruschka styling a dazzling, daring black cocktail dress for a studio shoot. Such is the image of the vintage 60s. And fifty years after the look is back on the runaway reinvented by Michael Kors.
Crochet
60s panache opts out for fashion choices that exempt the one wearing it from the obvious “Swinging” crowd. Fast forward to now. Acne Studios, is back at it again and offered us a perfect base layer for a chunky cream knit.
Monochrome Stripes
Probably the most striking number on the 60’s runaway. The box-structured jacket featuring contrasting stripes -the punchy print that wowed us at the Marques’Almeida autumn/winter 2017 runway.
Power-dressing Plaid
The far-fetched perception of today’s Mulberry, brought back the powerful feminine look that’s previously been served. The plaid-heavy looks dominated its autumn collection and if you are intrigued, style it head to toe that effectively slims the silhouette.
Snakeskin
Veruschka strikes again with a stunning snakeskin look. And who dared to channel an extreme sense of animalism in their autumn collection? ANSWER; Alessandro Michele. His signature codes as a designer have sealed Gucci’s modern identity, one facet of which is a serpent obsession.
