1960's

Twiggy was one of the main fashion icons in the 1960's. She inspired every girl with what she wore and how she wore it. Often seen in mini skirts and patterned dresses, she made a statement with her clothes and people admired her for it. Her long, thick eyelashes and blonde hair were her signature looks and she always looked bold and strong in her photographs. In this clip, you can see some examples of Twiggy's fashion throughout the 1960s and how she was an inspiration.

 

 

Pyschadelia was a subculture with the message of Love Not War in the 1960s and it was made up of people who enjoyed hippie style music and crazily patterned clothing. Granny Takes A Trip is a legendary boutique from the 60's that sold Pyschadelia clothing.

 

 

 

 

The boutique has sold some iconic pieces of clothing that have held a deeper meaning to some people due to personal attachments. It was extremely popular with everyone including musician George Harrison who shopped in there. The graphic designs for the boutique have been inspired by the Pyschadelic style that made up album covers and posters at this time. Many of these advertisements/graphics are built up of hidden meaning with certain imagery being covered up. This was the representation that morals were loosening as the Pyschadelic culture grew and grew.

 

This is one example of a graphic that was made to advertise Granny Takes A Trip

 

Within this image, there are lots of smaller images within the background. The pastel colours and overall calming feel of the graphic shows that it is Pyschadelic which links well to the boutique. However, you could portray the mushrooms in the background of the image as a representation of the drugs that people took if they were a part of this subculture. This is because of the term 'magic mushrooms', some people may link this image with that term.

 

 

In this clip you can see the journey of the boutique and examples of the styles that they sold in there in the 1960's.
