- slightly wider lapels
- slightly shorter jacket
- slightly shorter trousers
- trademark horseshoe waistcoat
Since I'm doing womenswear, I will have to find a way to include at least some of these trademark factors into a ladies bespoke suit.
The 60s was an iconic era for women, women were starting to get jobs, not just stay in as a housewife.
Iconic 60s women;
- Jean Shrimpton - one of the world’s first supermodels, appeared on the cover of countless magazines, helped launch the miniskirt, part of new era of skinny long-legged models. Iconic fringe and pout.
- Aretha Franklin - The Queen of Soul, first female performer inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
- Audrey Hepburn - most iconic role was as Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany’s in 1961. The little black dress she wears at the beginning of the film defined LBDs forever.
- Charlotte Rampling - became an international style icon due to brazen minidresses and creative pattern situations.
- Mary Quant - She pioneered the miniskirt and hot pants, and encouraged women to treat fashion as a fun game and dress to make themselves happy. About the miniskirt, she said, “It was the girls on the King’s Road who invented the mini. I was making easy, youthful, simple clothes, in which you could move, in which you could run and jump and we would make them the length the customer wanted. I wore them very short and the customers would say, ‘Shorter, shorter.’”
- Cilla Black - Most famous for the crackling single “Anyone Who Had A Heart,” English singer and actress Cilla Black was a style icon everywhere in the universe.
- Elke Sommer - The German-born sex symbol was one of the most popular pinup girls in the ’60s, posing for Playboy twice in 1964 and 1967.
- Jacqueline Kennedy - The first lady of our hearts managed to maintain her impeccable, influential style throughout her time in the White House and even as she lived through unimaginable tragedy. Her look managed to combine the grace and elegance of classic looks with a charming youthful sensibility that she maintained for her entire life.
- Ursula Andress - Swiss-born Ursula Andress was best known for her role as Bond girl Honey Rider in the very first James Bond film, Dr. No, where her white bikini made her a sex symbol and a star. She was quoted as saying, “This bikini made me into a success.” In 1965, she posed for Playboy and when asked why, simply replied “Because I’m beautiful.”
- Brigitte Bardot - A world-famous French bombshell and actress who was the subject of a 1959 Simone de Beauvoir essay declaring her a “locomotive of women’s history” and the most liberated woman of post-war France. Bardot’s style was unabashedly sexy.
- Twiggy - Teenage supermodel Lesley Lawson (née Hornby), better known as “Twiggy,” was declared “The Face of ‘66” after agreeing to get her hair cropped short by celebrity hairdresser Leonard. Her signature look was both boyish and whimsically feminine; a stick-thin figure, the haircut, exaggeratedly long fake eyelashes, and adorable boxy short dresses.
