The FiFi Report 132

Swinging Sixties ….by Christopher Breward (Editor), Jenny Lister (Editor)
In 1966, Time famously touted London as the new world center of style. Forty years later, this book reconsiders the roles played by Mary Quant, Twiggy, Biba, David Bailey, magazines, and filmmakers in promoting a new, more relaxed, more colorful way of dressing that reverberated around the world. Illustrated with key pieces from the V&A’s fashion collection plus contemporary photos, the book relates fashion to the rapidly changing social, economic, and aesthetic context of the times. Groovy baby!
