Do you remember the 60s?
Well I don’t! But here are the FASHION ICONS who have had a great influence to fashion in the swinging sixties and some of their designs. For Part 5 look here!
JACKIE ONASSIS
Before Michelle Obama and her inspired wardrobe, there was Jackie Onassis – the original fashionable First Lady. Jackie’s prim skirt suits, pillbox hats, dark glasses, chic string of pearls and preppy style made her the style inspiration for women across America.

TWIGGY
We couldn’t not mention Twiggy. The teenage supermodel became a worldwide phenomenon for her androgynous look, with a short haircut, gamine limbs and bold eyelashes she painted on herself.
Lesley Lawson (née Hornby; born 19 September 1949), widely known by the nickname Twiggy, is an English model, actress and singer. In the mid-1960s she became a prominent British teenage model of swinging sixties London with others such as Penelope Tree.

JANIS JOPLIN
From fur hats and gilets to string vests, and piles of bangles, Janis Joplin‘s bohemian style was truly unique.
I’m a victim of my own insides. There was a time when I wanted to know everything … It used to make me very unhappy, all that feeling. I just didn’t know what to do with it. But now I’ve learned to make that feeling work for me. I’m full of emotion and I want a release, and if you’re on stage and if it’s really working and you’ve got the audience with you, it’s a oneness you feel.

Now here is a real dirty hippie, just kidding. This is one of the most soulful and respect female singers of the 60s. This is the beautiful Janis Joplin and her famous sense of fashion.

JULIE CHRISTIE
The beautiful and effortlessly stylish Julie Christie starred in two of the most iconic films of the decade – Darlingand Dr Zhivago. We adored her swing coats, Mary Jane shoes and romantic dresses in Dr Zhivago.

Because of Twiggy, I painted eyelashes on my bottom lid too! Thanks for reminding me of that and giving me a big smile! I am enjoying your series so much. You are really capturing the era perfectly!
