Classic is Timeless


Who remembers the 50s? The 60s? Let's not reminisce on the 70s...
The classic is being reinvented... again.
There's a philosophy saying that history always repeats itself- this is the same thing with trends in fashion. The first piece of clothing (probably like a loincloth or something, har-har) has been re-done so many times its not the same thing anymore. Fashion and history are repeating their selves again, and this time there's going to be someone to blog about it :D
The 50s... Jackie O ring a bell? The age of class and elegance rolled up into modern day wear. Pleated bell skirts, caps for women, dainty high-heels and the cardigan craze! The 50s was the founder of it all! If it wasn't for the 50s, then a lot of modern day elegant designs wouldn't be circulating the runway. White, wristlet gloves could be found in this period as well, these aren't as popular anymore but still fun for dress-up! :P

And then the 60s! A total 360 happened here! Total opposites collide in less than twenty years. The classy goes to the pop scene. The abstract and the punk. As much as I love the 50s, I think I belong in the 60s. The fun, flirty styles mixed with edgy and modern. 60s icons include: Jackie Kennedy (again), Twiggy (famous-now Botoxed-model), Edie Sedgwick (actress, model, heiress), and Audrey Hepburn (if you don't know who Audrey Hepburn is, I may have to kill you). Just to name a few. The 60s was a mix of old and new. The women born before the 60s kept the classic 50s, while younger women and models worked the modern 60s look.

What do you like better, the sixties or the fifties?
PS: Sorry if the font on the sixties is blue... I don't know what happened there...and if it is regular font then just pass me as crazy...
