60s Fashion

The grooviest getups of the 1960s


This compendium of clothing advertisements brings back the most prevalent looks from the Swinging Sixties. The ubiquitous miniskirt is here in all its glory, along with mod fashions, Gidget/Beach Boys surfer looks, Corrèges space age clothing and such iconic items as the Rudi Gernreich topless bathing suit and Yves Saint-Laurent`s Mondrian dress.

„Alles wird detailgetreu und witzig beschrieben, aber noch mehr bebildert - mit den schönsten Anzeigen, Modeillustrationen, Reklameideen und Photos. Die 50er und 60er Jahre, so geben sie ein perfekt treffendes Spiegelbild der damaligen Zeit. Zwei wirklich interessante, kleine Bilderbücher vom TASCHEN-Verlag in Köln.“
