Mary Quant & The Birth Of Iconic 60s Dresses
1964. Mary Quant raises the hemline of the skirt - it jumped from below-the-knee poodle to upper-thigh pelmet, marking the beginning of a new era for women.
These were young, single, working women who wanted to have fun and who now could, for the first time, afford to do so.
The Mod Dress
Centred around bright, bold colours, block prints, geometric patterns, polka dots and stripes, Mod dresses bought the fashion industry to life. A wardrobe staple for many girls back in the 60s, these garments tended to be sleeveless and worn over black polo neck sweaters or flowery shirts.
The Micro-Mini Dress
The micro-mini dress was made famous by ‘60s models like Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy but also pop singers like Sandie Shaw and Cilla Black. It took fashion to another level, breaking even more boundaries and pushing limits. Of course, girls everywhere couldn't wait to get their hands on this rebellious yet chic look that has continued to wow throughout the decades.
