Edie Sedgwick
Edie Sedgwick
The wealthy socialite, toast of the New York art scene and a certain Andy Warhol’s muse, Edie Sedgwick was the original IT girl. The essential ingredients of her good-girl-gone-bad aesthetic were lashings of eyeliner, chandelier earrings, mini mod dresses with sheer black tights and a crop of platinum hair – one day to be celebrated by Sienna Miller in the film Factory Girl.
Twiggy
Twiggy
No 1960s fashion round-up would be complete without Twiggy. One of the greatest beauty muses ever, Twiggy rose to supermodel fame thanks to her paint ’em on thick eyelashes and the boyish pixie crop that celebrity hairdresser Leonard chopped for her in 1966. Almost overnight she became the face of the decade – instantly recognisable, she’s been immortalised on everything from Andy Warhol screen prints to Marks and Spencer shopping bags.
Mary Quant
Mary Quant
Not only was Mary Quant a style icon in her own right, she brought the era’s greatest trends to the wardrobes of the masses from her shop on the King’s Road. The mini-skirt, hot pants, coloured tights and plastic macs – we owe them all to design pioneer Quant.
Jackie Kennedy
Jackie Kennedy
Before Michelle Obama and Samantha Cameron, there was Jackie Onassis. The original fashionable First Lady managed to maintain her impeccable style throughout her time in the White House, even as she lived through tragedy. Jackie’s prim skirt suits, pillbox hats and super-sized dark glasses made her the style inspiration for women across America.
Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn
How do we love Audrey Heburn’s 1960s style? Let us count the ways… First it was that 1961 Breakfast at Tiffany’s LBD, teamed with movie star shades and top-handle bag which won over our hearts. Then came the off-duty style game – a champion of chic capri pants and ballet pumps. Oh Audrey…
Jean Shrimpton
Jean Shrimpton
In 1960, Jean Shrimpton brought the fashion world to a halt. Unlike the more voluptuous models of the 1950’s that came packaged with stiff aristocratic poses, this leggy British brunette broke the modelling mould entirely with her super slender frame. Jean paved the way for fellow free-spirited waifs such as Twiggy and Penelope Tree and eventually Kate Moss and co.
Jane Birkin
Jane Birkin
Trends come and go but we never tire of Jane Birkin’s style. The free-spirited Blow Up actress’s penchant for care-free classics and laissez-faire spirit earned her instant world recognition in the 60s while her gap-teeth and quirky French-meets-British dress sense charmed Serge Gainsbourg.
Pattie Boyd
Pattie Boyd
Patti Boyd’s enchanting modish style, flippy hair, and endless legs ensured she was the inspiration behind some of the greatest hits of the 60s. The former wife of both Eric Clapton and George Harrison was the quintessential sixties beauty and a favourite of Mary Quant. Quite the unsung style hero of the decade…
