Monday Morning Inspiration

It's very easy to get caught up n the idea that what is being created today is truly unique to this generation. If you just take a short look back, you'll see that as we go forward, we build on the past. I came across this Pinterest page that has incredible historic fashions and inspiration. As I scrolled through, what really caught my eye were pieces from the 1960's. I think it's interesting to take a look back, see where we were, where we are, how we have changed, and how we have stayed the same.

Below, the sun and moon from Yves St. Laurent.

 There was a lot of whimsy in the 1960's. The pocket is a purse!

Lots of space age influences. Norma Kamali did a collection a few years ago that was very reminiscent of the piece below.

Janis Joplin's bell bottom pants. Interesting use of a tablecloth.

Everything was about geometric patterns and 

 flowers!

Pucci was everywhere, mixing patterns and colors in such vibrant ways.

Picasso's abstracts fit perfectly on to a shift dress.

 Embellishments even had a space age feel.

 The basic forms were simple,

but beautifully designed.

 Above and below, Balenciaga. Take note that the piece below is a shift with an ethereal train.

I hope you have enjoyed this stroll through the 1960's as much as I enjoyed putting it together! 

Have a wonderful week!
