SEMINAL - SIXTIES - SCARF SHOE


Enclosing all the body in yards of silk chiffon, THE SCARF SHOE - flying upwards from a jewelled heel. Each scarf shoe, a free-flowing stocking - based on a solid sole - that covers the leg, leaving long streamers of twine around the body. In hand painted silk chiffon by Herbert Levine

SEMINAL - SIXTIES

eye


Tell me what's new in make-up?

"you can do fabulous things to help your eyes reveal the inner melody that's the beautiful, present-tense you."

the 
mirror
is
the
message

Helena Rubinstein "Elec-Tricks" - Pure color on one side, frosty shimmer on the other.

"Beauty is sight and insight - maquillage a living art that reflects a woman within, changing herself at will just as primitive man varies his masque, dramatizing the many selves he wants to project."

THE
THINK 
DIET

"Sure way to figure control: put the bathroom scales in front of a full-length mirror. Strip. Is what you see the best you can do?



Flowers shape the body - the rediscovery of the paleolithic double-curve in pettipants by Deanna Littel for Warner's.

Pettipants became a hot item during the latter part of the sixties. The first "pettipant look" was introduced as eyelet or lace trimmed mid-to-full-length cotton bloomers worn under baby doll dresses or gypsy layers as shown on Jean Shrimpton in Vogue March 1969 - see below. The printed pettipants above dealt with ever-rising skirt lengths, insuring some modicum of modesty with style.
