Same! But I think my favorite is 2 decades going from 1955(ish)-1975(ish). Such drastic and icon changes during that 20 yrs and it is still admired and emulated to this day! ❤
same!! i love the 60s and 70s. why is it that those years, and the 20s and 10s had the coolest fashion styles in my opinion. i do love tons of other decades though
I have dabbled in film and editing. I just want to say how much I appreciate all the work that you put into making high quality, educational, and fun shorts.
All so creative and cool. Of course back then a lot of people still made their own clothes or altered things to fit better. Ppl took fashion seriously! BTW you look amazing in everything!
My grandmother worked for Hallmark in the 40s 50s 60s and 70s. My sisters would always have the paper party dresses with the matching napkins,cups, plates and table cloths. I believe this is what inspired my love of seamless design.
You should do a closet tour! It would be so cool if you organized everything by decades and did separate videos of each section (I’m sure that’s a ton of work tho)
the shift is so pretty I really want to know who made it! my vintage shifts are my lifeline on hot nights and under wool but they are all much more basic!
Adding to the great list in these comments, from someone who grew up in those days: >New Romantic (wide picture hats, ruffles for females AND males, floral ties and shirts for men, ) >Military Look for women/Carnaby Street (epaulette shirt plus tie plus webbing belt plus fisherman's cap) > Space Age Look (Metallic finishes on leather or vinyl, use of shiny plastics for bags coats belts hats and shoes > 1920s Revival (feather boa, headband across forehead, bead necklaces to the waist, looong scarves, drop-waisted dress, cigarette holders, tiny bags) > Check wool Pants Suits over turtleneck sweaters > shoulder bags instead of handbags > dressy boots -- mod style -- ankle, midcalf and knee-high boots For both men and women: > zippers as decoration, exposed not hidden > machine embroidery and contrast stitching as detail > oversized collars, lapels, cuffs, belts, mens ties > chisel and square toes on shoes
Cleopatra and Dr Zhivago also influenced styles back then. I have pictures of my mom wearing her hair like Elizabeth Taylor's and 5 years later in long fur trimmed coat like Julie Christie. And all the ladies wanted to look like the astronauts' wives, and the astronauts' wives wanted to look like Jackie. These were the average everyday women, not the cutting edge fashion followers.
Twiggy also ruined the curvy figure for women for decades and introduced the unhealthy aspirations for the very thin frame! I know a lot of people hold her in high regard for what she did for the fashion world but certainly don't! We went from Marylin to Twiggy, and it took us decades to undo that damage!
Sheath dresses, draped or wraparound styles, pencil skirts, empire waists, (fitted) drop waists. Think the early carryover from the 1950s, but then look for strong colors and patterns that pop á la Joan Holloway from Mad Men.
I don't argue with your presentation: these fashions were certainly featured in women's magazines of the era. But I grew up in the 60s, and the vast majority of women did not wear any of these fashions. My mom and friends' moms wore comfortable pants and tops, and we wore cute dresses, no particular style.
It depends. My friends and I definitely wore the late 60s hippie styles. My mom had a lot of the mid 60s shift style dresses. I can't say I remember what any of her friends wore, so she may have been an exception.
