Fashion’s time machine has landed slap bang in the middle of the Swinging Sixties as mod chic comes to the fore. Echoing the decade of fashion revolution, the look is all about pop art dresses and boxy silhouettes teamed with stylishly feminine accessories in a range of experimental hues.
Playful yet ultra womanly, miniskirts, polo necks and dropped waists have been seen on the catwalks at Valentino and Calvin Klein. Prada, Jil Sander and Donna Karan opted for graphic prints, houndstooth and original monochrome … a definite nod towards 60s supermodels Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton.
The trend also heralds the return of the classic Sixties two piece, a la Alberta Ferretti and Ermano Scervino. A great choice for the winter, simply team a bold, structured tunic with tailored pencil trousers.
Finish off with cutesy kitten heels or ballet flats then just add a scooter, a flick or eyeliner and a beehive and you’re ready to swing!
