Add to Google Youthquake! - How Mods and Hippies Challenged ’60s Paris Couture
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. As 17-year-old Twiggy noted in 1967, “The world is all for youth now…because the young people have so much time and money to spend.”

Oscar de la Renta and André Leon Talley’s Spanish Dress Exhibit
“[Oscar de] la Renta decided Balenciaga’s contribution is so important, that Nicolas Ghesquière’s helmet and leather tunic jacket, inspired by Spanish fishermen’s tunics, should be installed on its own in a special vitrine in the lobby, the first thing one sees upon entering,” André Leon Talley writes in his column in Vogue.
