100 60s-Inspired Fashions

From Brazen Beehive Lookbooks to Twiggy-Inspired Editorials

— December 15, 2011 — Fashion
Feel the breeze of the summer of love on your cheeks with these alluring 60s-inspired fashions. Take a trip back to a time of experimentation and artistic growth. The 60s were a time of social upheaval and change; the sexual revolution and the civil rights movement were both under way and the establishment was under fire. The wealth of possibility that these important social movements opened up gave rise to one of the most creative and mesmerizing decades of all time.

With fashion icons such as Bridgette Bardot, Edie Sedgwick, Twiggy and Audrey Hepburn populating this glam decade, it's not surprising that modern designers still find inspiration from these iconic looks. From gravity-defying bouffants to dramatic cat eyes and shift dresses, the spirit of the 60s is still alive and well on the pages of fashion mags everywhere.

Sure to have you back-combing like there's no tomorrow, these 60s-inspired fashions are a worthy muse for modern fashionistas everywhere.
