The 1960's is an era that i am passionate about. Everything about the era, the music ,the hair, the short length dresses, the free spirits etc...truly inspires me. I carry this into my everyday life, with the clothes that I wear and the hairstyle I have, even the music I listen to, all informed but the 60's in one way or another.
1960's music was just brilliant, it was when the rock and roll scene was really coming into light. People were appreciating music more, breaking out of their shell and comfort zones. it was the era when (the teenager) really came into play, they were breaking out from wearing the same as their parents and stop listening to what their parents listened to. Artist such as The Beatles, The Kinks, Buddy Holly, The Who, The Rolling Stones were height of there career's at this time.
Fashion nower days has taken inspiration from the 1960's as well, designers such as Orla keily take this inspiration into their collections. She uses her signature 60's shiluettes and peter pan collars teamed with modern prints, which always makes for a great collection.

The 60's was also the era for the mini skirt which was popularized by Mary Qaunt and other designers such as Andre Courreges and Pierre Cardin. The mini skirt became a statement in everyone wardrobe and has been carried on into today's fashion.
