Undoubtedly, the style of the , - a hymn to youth, with its dynamism, optimism, emancipation, independence! For the first time in the history of costume came youth fashion, seized the podium and thought designers fashion "Haute couture" was actually threatened with death.In place of feminine image of 50s Christian Dior came a new standard of beauty - thin angular girls - teenager.

Style 60s in clothesIn vogue mini-skirts. As you know, skirts above the knee were already in vogue in 1927, but they can hardly be called a mini, looking at the clothes 60s: they are almost chaste!In the mini-skirts 60s could not bend over: opening and the picture is often exploited in the later comedies. Was not very comfortable in them and walk up the stairs, especially if the bottom were male. But it does not bother fashionistas.It is believed that the mini-skirt invented the British fashion boutique owner Mary Quant, but in reality it just patented it. Its first proposed in its collections a young Parisian designer Andre Kurrezha. Whatever it was, but a mini-skirt was born in the 60s and took a strong position in the fashion decades.60 years - a period of bold innovations in fashion at this time began its activities in the field of creative designers such as Andre Kurrezha, Paco Rabanne, Pierre Cardin, Rudy Gernrayh. Inspired by the flight of Yuri Gagarin, they created the costumes for the astronauts - space explorers: from the silver and unusual synthetic materials, with fantastic hats resembling helmets, with goggles and unusual. Andre Kurrezha proposed style of "Moon Girl" - has turned the image is almost an alien!Natural fabrics like cotton, silk, wool, were not held in high esteem, unusual materials needed for a person of the space age, so the relevance of acquired all sorts of synthetic fabrics and leather. In addition, synthetic materials perfectly erased, did not require ironing and were inexpensive, that loved young people.Of course, in space - not to the ladies' stuff, so the women's and men's suits are less different from each other and were the most functional. The result was the appearance of things, "unisex" and Women's trouser suit by the end of the decade was at its peak of popularity. In this - the credit Kurrezha Andre, who proposed an ensemble consisting of straight trousers and short jacket, combined with low-heeled shoes: in these models dressed the whole world, and the author went bankrupt and closed its store in the mid 60s, because I do not patented his invention.Rudy Gernrayh dresses used for finishing trims and decorative items made of vinyl, and Paco Rabanne in 1965, created a collection in which the clothes were made of metal plates, plastic and cellophane. It was just amazing!The space theme was very popular in movies: Paco Rabanne developed sketches to the cult sci-fi movie 60's - "Barabarella" with Jane Fonda in the title role, who to this day considered one of the sexiest.In 1961 he opened a fashion house Yves Saint Laurent - a brilliant designer of the XX century. Already his first collection under the name "Mondrian" was a huge success: a model dresses were created based on the works of the famous abstract artist, and painted "quotations" of his paintings - stripes, rectangles.When creating their models more Yves Saint Laurent turned to art as a source of creativity and innovation in an effort to combine the suit with timeless classics. Coco Chanel once advised him to remember that "inside the dress is a woman." This advice he always remembered, creating his masterpieces: the clothes were beautiful, fashionable and comfortable at the same time!Silhouette of a "trapeze" was extremely popular in the era of the 60s: it is perfectly combined with geometric motifs in the costume of these years. Its creator - Yves Saint Laurent. Were very relevant costumes resembling uniformed attendants.In 1966, Yves Saint Laurent has developed a collection of clothes in the style of "Pop - Art" with enormous applications in the form of lips, hearts, geometric shapes, etc. These reasons then not again be used in fashion next year.Yves Saint Laurent, considered the successor of Coco Chanel, created the first female tuxedo, then the elegant black dress - a tuxedo, finally erasing the boundaries between male and female fashion.Asksessuary and hair in the style of the 60sAnother characteristic of the bar - haircuts and hairstyles in the style of the '60s. At the beginning of the decade have been relevant to the hair brushed, like Brigitte Bardot called "Babette," and by the end of the 60s have become more common haircut, more in tune with the image of a teenage girl.In 1962 the Moscow fashion V.Aralova brought to Paris a collection of models in which the main type of shoe are high red boots with low heels. Collection furor: it turns out, in Europe, boots were always just kind of men's shoes! The following year, on the catwalks of Paris, all models were in long boots! So in the early 60s there was a fashion for women's boots!The movement "hippies," which appeared in the 60s, has reached its peak in 1967: in London, who at that time was the capital of the World of fashion, fashion show held the first "hippie". For these products is characterized by natural materials with a worn look, and ethnic elements. Thanks to the "hippies" were born in the fashion trends of the future, such as "folk," "ethnic," "retro," "unisex", diffuse style and fashion denim.Style 60's in clothing - a cascade of interesting, avant-garde solutions to its development!
