60's Hippie

Model dressed as 60's Hippie

The 1960s was a revolutionary period for fashion and technology and sex! Women were beginning to properly embrace their sexuality and hitch up their skirts accordingly. The most infamous part of the 60s would arguably be the Hippie (Hipster) movement, in which the fashion heavily influenced culture, popular music, television and art. Hippies were very much about peace and love and owning a care-free spirit. They were also very much into psychedelic art, music and altering their state of mind with LSD, cannabis, magic mushrooms and other hallucinogenic drugs.
The Hippie fashion is categorised by loose waistcoats, headbands, flower or peace accessories, bright colours, tye-dye and flares.

60's Mod Girl

60's Mod Girl in typical attire

The Mod Girl of the 60s wore masculine shirts with knee-length skirts, lots of eyeliner and tweezed eyebrows. However, when fashion model Twiggy began to shorten her hem-lines, don knee-high boots and add more mascara, so too did mod girls!
Hairstyles changed and fluctuated, also. From the pixie cut to the bob to the beehive, as popularised by Audrey Hepburn.
