SEMINAL - SIXTIES


the 
reflecting 
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."
Harper's Bazaar

Photography: Guy Bourdin




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."

Harper's Bazaar

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.
