This look at 1960's fashions read a bit like a short textbook to me. It focuses a little more on the British scene than the American, and references designers and models often but doesn't really give insight into who most of them were. There are many color photos that add to the book and those were my favorite parts.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

This book is an educated and nostalgic look back at the unique fashions of the 1960’s.  The history of the era is discussed, and iconic photos of fashion and models make this a go-to resource for veterans of the 60’s and anyone else who wants to learn about mini skirts, op art fashion, flower power designs, and many others.

A trip through time in the 1960s with fashion galore and pictures too focusing on men and women and tv fashion in London mostly and a lot of designers I've heard of and a lot I have not.

When life for the entire universe and planet turns on its end and like everyone else you "have nothing to do" while your place of work is closed and you are in #COVID19 #socialisolation,  superspeed readers like me can read 250+ pages/hour, so yes, I have read the book … and many more today. (I AM BORED!!)

I requested and received a temporary digital Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley, the publisher and the author in exchange for an honest review.  

From the publisher, as I do not repeat the contents or story of books in reviews, I let them do it as they do it better than I do 😸.

From Mary Quant to Mods and Rockers, this is a colourful illustrated history of the most revolutionary decade for British fashion in the twentieth century: the 1960s.

Perhaps more so than any other decade, the Sixties had the broadest impact on the twentieth-century Western world. Across society, culture, and the arts, youth voices rose to prominence and appeared to have the greatest influence in new fashions and trends. Mature polished elegance was replaced by young liveliness as the fashionable ideal. Although only the most daring young followers of fashion wore the tiny miniskirts and borderline-unwearable plastic and metal outfits publicized in the press, stylish and smart fashion was increasingly available to all, with an emphasis on self-expression taking precedence over outward conformity. 

New style icons such as the teenage model Twiggy combined girl-next-door looks with trendy outfits that felt both aspirational and accessible, whilst popular culture, be it music or screen, heavily influenced mainstream fashion. In this beautifully illustrated book, fashion historian Daniel Milford-Cottam offers a concise guide to the changing styles and trends across the decade, which are vividly brought to life by a range of stunning images.

This cute little 64-page book was a delight to look at ...oh, the clothing!! I loved this book - it is so full of memories (mostly from news and media and other books...I was not born until 1967)  and I cannot imagine my mother ever in a mini skirt, although she certainly has the legs for it.

The author has written books on Edwardian Fashion and the 1950s and 1970s which I plan to read this afternoon --- all I want to do today is sit in from of the a/c and not sweat! A great little book if you are looking for an easy costume for a party or Halloween!

As always, I try to find a reason to not rate with stars as I love emojis (outside of their incessant use by "🙏-ed Social Influencer Millennials/#BachelorNation survivors/Tik-Tok and YouTube  Millionaires/etc. " on Instagram and Twitter... Get a real job, people!) so let's give it 👗👗👗👗
