Modernistic, minimal and designed around straight shapes and clean cut lines...thats what i have created?
The 60's is a favourite decade of mine because of the mod culture, and i feel there are a few of up and coming brands that take its identity. Pretty Green, by Liam Gallagher, is a name oozing mod sub culture labelling the iconic parka, clean cut polo's and shirts and desert boots: all staples of Mod taste. Another reason for me to be biased toward time honoured fashion!
The 1960's was named "The British Explosion" and i think thats a good enough reason for us to hail it. Formerly Pairs was where people looked for fashion. Now all eyes were on London. The reconstruction of the damage from the war from the 50's meant that people had great aspirations, many of them youths, and now with money to spend...the best way for them to express themselves was through fashion. I honestly think they did this well. So i hope i see more Mary Quant - esq minis, and more winter tailoring because...i hate frills...and so did the 60's.
garments: vintage
