The really skinny lass in blue looks very similar to my great Aunt the late Pam James a kiwi aspiring actress who went to Rada in late 50s to around 1960 she trained with fellow late kiwi Ngahi Dawn Porter who found fame in the Tv series The Protectors Tv series. Pam however played Peter Pan in 50s on Westend and swung through the air as she was quite light.in 60s to 70s in New Zealand she mainly did plays and well regarded but she gave it up sadly to look after her mother.😢
I was a total hippie in the Sixties, but every attempt I made to wear something fashionable was a disaster. I just had no clothes sense, and eventually gave up. I just wore anything that was comfortable.
Cars and fashion was really classy in 60's 😎 I'm french woman who want 60's style clothes. I love tweed skirts and white boots 👍 I'm searching for dresses
Podobieństwa jakie zauważyłam do dzisiejszych czasów to malowanie na ścianach budynków i torebki damskie na łańcuszku (1 min)! Chciałabym odwiedzić taką Anglię, bo byłam tam pod koniec lat 70-tych i była zupełnie inna, brzydsza!!!
So glad I was part of the scene. Shopping for cheap material in Soho markets. We made our own mini dresses and skirts. Saving a week’s wages to design and pay for a pair of shoes hand made by Stan in Battersea. I worked in London early 60s and spent lunch time shopping in Oxford Street and Soho. Today, the shoes are rubbish (IMO). Wish I’d held on to all my beautiful shoes. Great memories and I am so lucky to have been part of those times.
Thank you so much for this upload. My wardrobe is a kitsch macabre mixture of the Brady Bunch and Vampira at Midnight, art directed by David Lynch and with a soundtrack by the 13th Floor Elevators, all nodding in appreciation at the covers of those self-released religious folk records from early 1970s, y'know the ones which colourful American Evangelist families in matching lurid ensembles and towering sculptural hairdos would bring out? (the titles always had unintended sexual innuendo and double entendre). Always looking for inspiration online. Thank you again! :D
We had no idea the wonderful golden age we were living in ! It’s all gone; people are total slobs now. No obesity; we prided ourselves on having a good figure to wear fashionable clothes ! I’m glad I’m now old; I couldn’t stand to be young in Britain now.
The decade of true fashion. Please, someone let me travel through time and go back there... Everything was so much better ! Clothing, music, lifestyle, relationships. No cellphones, no internet, just human beings interacting with each other. Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how thin everyone looked ? They were all good looking and healthy, not one single overweight person in sight. I'm a 22 years old student but it's been a few months since my obsession with the 1960's began. The things I would do to be able to go back in time...
Hi Caroline! I know you left this comment almost a year ago but if you're still feeling the same way, I think you and I ought to launch a giant public service campaign to bring back The Hairdo. No 'choppy layers', no requests for 'balayage', nay nay. I'd like to bring back huge, sculptural hairdos with loads of bows and accessories. These majestic creations will require scaffolding and I'm up for it, haha! Also, outfits that are conceptual and integrated as both aesthetic and philosophical statements. This movement needs a name...hmmm. ;D
Indeed it was a much better time...also from a male point of view also cars/football. I feel very privileged to have experienced the 60s first time around [born in '53]. I too would love to go back.... at least we have You Tube to remind us of a very special era.😊
How dare they call Soho non-conformist nowadays! Where do I go if I want to do actually rebellious things, like playing chess with a complete stranger? 3:33: Sorry to disappoint, this is now Kowloon Buffet. 5:15: Now Melanie Restaurant & Pizzeria. 6:39: Now a branch of the chain 39 Steps Coffee Haus, so named because they want to look German, although I doubt they'd pass in my grandmother's native land.
As much as I am grateful for my life and how advanced as a society we became nowadays, I can't help but admire gems from the past like these. Makes me wish that we could combine the advancements of modern society with the chivalry, pep, and overall positiveness of the 60's. Everything seems colorful, fun, childish, and lighthearted, and it's very beautiful
I used to go to the Stockpot on the king's road in the early 70s. It was there for years even in the early 2000s and the decor hadn't changed, you could always get a cheap meal. The only cafe from that time that still exists is the Troubadour on Brompton road.
