sixties love.
So for my Forecasting class, my group had to evaluate and describe the 1960s in relation to trends and issues during this decade. And I have to say, I became rather fascinated with this time in history. Not only is it the decade my mama was born (shout out!), but it marked a shift in the country's traditional ideals and an encouragement to actively pursue freedom in expression. Known as the "youthquake" by the 1965 January issue of Vogue, which had just been taken over by Diana Vreeland at the time, the young people of the generation were finally finding their voice. As I looked through photographs of this decade gone by, I couldn't help but find myself intrigued by the 1960's woman. All the ladies staring back at me had an utter coolness about them. And not only that, but were starting to become rather rebellious and experimental in their fashion choices. I mean, any brunette ballsy enough to wear all bright yellow with red tights and an orange beret is a winner in my book.
