The art movement was started by artist Richard Hamilton and was one of the pioneers of Pop Art. Since this revolution everything seemed to evolve.
Music seemed more popular in the 1960's especially British Pop Groups such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones as in 1964 The Beatles had the top 5 singles in the chart and they also had alot of bestselling albums.
There also seemed to be alot of Fashion Icons around in the 1960's, as fashion started to become bigger in this era. The 60's Fashion era is often coming back into trend each year! Twiggy was a big name in the 60's! (see last blog post) but since being The Face of the 1966 she is now instantly recognizable! She has been on everything and everywhere such as on some of Andy Warhols Screen prints, and Marks and Spencers shopping bags.
Edie Sedgwick was the original IT girl! Popular in the New York art scene she became very popular. She was know for her 'good girl gone bad' vibe and her dark eyeliner. Her mini mod dresses and sheer black tights also made her a iconic women in the fashion world.
Veruschka is a unique German model who landed her first cover in 1963. She became popular because of her 'sexy' attitude and look. She exuded sex because of her style of fashion, showing of alot of leg and flirty facial features. She lead a new direction of fashion in the 60's by pioneering a new skinny chic ideal.
