The 60’s is hot right now in fashion and will continue to be at least a season longer. I find it helpful to turn to the original sources to get inspiration, that way you can be trendy without looking like everybody else.

MOVIES

A very smart and enjoyable way to do this is to watch movies. I have here picked a few good movies from the 60’s that may come in very handy these days.

Rosemary’s Baby Rosemary’s outfits are very typical for the 60’s, and the movie is also one of the best horror movies ever.

Psycho Another horror movie.

La Dolce Vita

Darling I have never seen it, but it was Julie Christine’s (see under icons) most important movie.

ICONS

Besides movies it’s also very helpful to have a look at icons from the right decade. This way you can’t go wrong. The icons you should be the most aware of in this matter are:

Catherine Deneuve

Jackie Kennedy Who will never go out of style.

Twiggy Who is just adorable.

Julie Christine As mention under the movie Darling.

Here’s a preview of the sixities style I mentioned that we can expect more of spring 2006. The collection is from Diane Von Furstenberg and I think it’s absolutely awsome! Remember to keep an extra eye open at your local secondhand store.
