First came Jackie Kennedy Who women idolised and adored Her sense of style so graceful- Pink Pillbox hat sales soared!
The musical 'Beach Party' in 1963 Brought to the masses and across the classes This birth of the bikini!
Mary Quant bombed through the door Of an unsuspecting '64 Hemlines went from knee to bum Mini skirt craze had just begun...
Then the Mods -city gents- With button down collars and Vespas Clean cut hair, slim fit shirt All worn with a certain 'chutzpah'
'66 brought fine & 'dandy' Crushed velvet and brocade waistcoat False lashes, Twiggy, Carnaby Street Micro mini now resembles a petticoat..
By '68 hippie style was in Barefoot and braless no longer a sin Frayed bell bottoms, headbands and tie dyes Lucy with diamonds tripping through blue skies..
Leather boots, frills, cravats Five inch ties, plaid shirts and 'slacks' Buck skin vests, Woodstock and berets Culottes, The Beatles and Abigail's Party A decade of discovery, revolution & thrills
Now over to @ckahn for the '70's spills....
