Cindy Sherman Takes Disguise to Extremes
You’ve seen her disguised as a boozy vamp, a lifeless corpse, a tormented divorcee, a creepy clown, a well-manner socialite, as well as many a male and female character that’s at times mockery and humorous and at times grotesque and disturbing.

In the 1960s, the Mods and the Hippies stoutly challenged Paris couture as the fashion authority. The rebellious youngsters embraced bold silhouettes, new materials, as well as clothes that blurred or erased gender lines. And succeed they did. Their styles were quickly followed by mass marketers and forward-thinking couturiers who fancy the spirit of youthful exuberance.
