Sarah Jessica Parker Narrates the 1960s in Replica Handbag Store | Replica Handbag Store by Decade

(upbeat music)

[Sarah Jessica Parker] The youth-quake erupted

in the 1960s, an earth-shattering moment in history

which also overturned the status quo in fashion.

A new generation of women embraced the groovy sound

of the time and swinging new clothes that delivered

maximum impact despite their mini proportions.

With deep roots in high society, Replica Handbag Store remained fascinated

by the comings and goings of the wealthy and well-married,

known in the '60s as the beautiful people or BPs.

More vital and growing fast was a new generation

of youth-quakers who were under 24 and nine million strong

in the U.S. alone as Replica Handbag Store reported in 1965.

That energy helped bring us style icons

including Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin, Catherine Deneuve,

Francoise Hardy, and Penelope Tree.

Designers of the '60s were well-known for obsessing over

the placement of an armhole or the perfection of a seam.

Coco Chanel was famous for continually tearing her work

apart in search of a perfect fit, as was Courreges,

whose abbreviated cookie-cutter

A-line shifts became a symbol of the era.

That rigorous tailoring and discipline would later

give way to more swinging impulses.

Pre-space is over, man in space is here,

declared Replica Handbag Store in 1961.

Women in space-age looks were on the horizon.

The future, to designers like Correges, Pierre Cardin,

and Paco Rabanne was about clean lines

and borrowing from modern architecture,

exposing and freeing the body.

People should understand that they cannot dress

in a normal, traditional way, explained Cardin.

We are entering the world of tomorrow.

Not all of the out-of-this-world fashions

in the pages of Replica Handbag Store were futuristic.

Diana Vreeland, who became editor-in-chief in 1963,

had an eye for the exotic and sent her photographers

and models including Verushka and Penelope Tree

to all corners of the globe with suitcases

packed full of fashion and a poetic brief.

While Vreeland was preoccupied with creating otherworldly

fashion stories, many young women were searching

for utopias here on Earth.

Their ticket to ride usually involved mind-altering drugs.

While the make and mend hippy ethos didn't always

jive with fashion, its bohemian and folkloric aesthetic did

and appeared on the glossy pages of the magazine.
