Costume Design Ideas.....

I found a very interesting website which is basically a fashion archive, it's got some pretty interesting stuff about the clothes around a the time. Here's a little snippit! ........

The year 1968 was marked by the individualist in fashion, and by lawlessness. Anything went! Writing in the Christian Science Monitor in September, fashion reporter Patricia Shelton said: "Any genius can put a wardrobe together—all it takes is an artist's eye for color, line, and rhythm; confidence; a little common sense and a good credit rating. Prices," she added, "are going up." At about the same time, English Vogue wrote: "Fashion is self-consciously sociological and frankly featherbrained. It's classic and immediate. Nostalgic and now. Worldly and other-worldly. Whatever's happening you are part of it and at last you can be yourself and look as you choose."

I thought this was particularly interesting as this is kind of what Warhol was doing with his art, his own thing!! Here's the link to the website - http://www.paperpast.com/html/1968_fashion.html

Good times :) Lots lovely love, Emily!!! xx
