1960's Fasion !

Jackie O's leading Fashion Trends
Twiggy's new standard for fashion
Prairie Dress worn by Hippies
"The Mini" and the Go-Go Boots

During the 1960's, fashion from the previous era quickly went out. New hairstyles, make up, and fashion trends were streaming in. Influences from Europe came too, creating the "mod" era for men's and women's fashion. The social movements of that time "mirrored" the fashion trends. Hippies grew their hair very long and the men grew beards. They wore tie dye, prairie dresses, and bell bottoms. Jacqueline Kennedy started many trends too, as the first lady of the United States. Her pillbox hats, fake eyelashes, and french manicure spread through the entire country. "Twiggy" a revolutionary model of that time, redefined the fashion industry. Models were now better thin, and tall. Psychedelic prints, mismatched colors, mini skirts and dresses, bikinis, and Go-Go boots were all new to this era. The 1960's fashion impacted the fashion world forever.
