Innovative, creative, bold and brash.  Uniformity in dress was out,out,out and “anything goes” was in,in,in.  The fashion trends began in the streets and was youth oriented and youth driven.  Baby boomers came of age and made their own culture and styles. 

Sixties fashion burst onto the scene with London boutiques on Carnaby Street and Kings Road.  Icons of the day were  Mary Quant, Twiggy,Rudi Gernreich, Andre Courreges and Pierre Cardin
