2. Edie Segwick VS Twiggy
In Britin they had Twiggy, while
U.S had Edie Sedgwick, artist
Andy Warhol’s muse.
They had a very similar style
and taste in clothes. Both had
cropped platinum hair and
dark-lined eyes. The key is pair-
ing simple sheath dresses with
bold jewelry, solid-color tights,
and basic pumps or flats. Edie

3. the
Swinging
Sixties
60
The 1960’s was a decade of broad
changes in fashion as well as
culture. The 60’s were influenced
by a group of people, who called
themselves the Modernists.
There were a lot of defining movements in the sixties. Think about it, this was the period of the
British Invasion. It was also the time that brought singers from the United Kingdom to the United
States. They not only brought there music but also a whole new set of fashion.
BEATLEMANIA
The Beatles were in the forefront of this new fashion. The business suit changed because of
the Beatles. Instead of being so conservative the business suit became a suit that was tai-
lored to fit. Later they brought colorful turtlenecks to the fashion scene
also. The Beatles very much influenced the fashion of their time. Back in the
beginning of Beatlemania (early 1960s), John, Paul, George, and Ringo
were probably asked more questions about their hair than about
their music. The accepted haircut for men in civilized
society was above the ears. The Beatles popularised
bright colours, and wore paisley suits and
shirts and trousers with floral patterns. The
Beatles also popularised Indian inflenced
fashions such as collarless shirts and san-
dals.
By the late 1960s, The Beatles had adopted
trends toward more casual fas-hions, with
t-shirts, blue jeans, and denim jackets.
Lennon also popularised wearing solid
white suits. This mixture of casual wear and
unconventional formal clothing could be
seen in The Beatles’ later years as they grew
beards and drifted towards more hippie and
Indian clothing.
