Cyclical fashion - 60s

References from the past will always return. After all, fashion is cyclical. What was the costume du jour in the Victorian/Edwardian times is back now. Revival? Maybe not. Inspiration. Yes.

This spring, one can spot references from all over the place. Neon from the 80s, Hippie from the 70s, Mod from the 60s, Drop waist from the 20s, Art Deco from the 20-30s.

Today, we look at the sixties, the age of Jackie-O and Twiggy.
