I do hope you enjoyed my casual bit of 'groovy' alliteration in the titles - yas, very proud, thank you, why yes I did think of it myself. Today’s sixties themed antics were inspired by September’s issue of Vogue, which has proven to be a veritable smorgasbord of stylish delights. Featuring the first ever DVD of catwalk trends for AW 2011/12 from London, Paris, Milan and New York and an international collections special, it highlighted key trends and the best ways to wear them [particularly useful for the fetish trend; no-one wants to look like an extra from a bad horror film]. As for the magazine itself, weighty enough to kill someone [but glossy enough for it to be a very stylish murder] it has the added bonus of featuring the gorgeous Freja Beha Erichsen on the cover, wearing a rather beautiful sequinned dress from Dolce and Gabbana.
Vogue cites Sixties style icons Mary Quant, Twiggy and Julie Christie as inspiration for this seasons coolest trend; ‘Two-piece ensembles in fabrics that really hold structure, like felt and wool, bridge the gap between ladylike and mod perfectly,’ says Vogue's Calgary Avansino.
Fool-proof sixties dressing is simple once you have invested in just one or two key pieces; Car coats, bracelet sleeves, polo necks and of course, the miniskirt teamed with knee-high boots are a quick and easy way to an on-trend look. Beehives were popular on the catwalk at Jean Paul Gaultier and Bottega Veneta [who have made the most perfect skirt suit] and flicked eyeliner completes the look. Groovy baby!
