THE LOOK - THE TIME - 1969

Marisa Berenson

Claude Lalanne

Stephane Pompougnac

On The Road Again - Canned Heat

"Claude Lalanne's extraordinary fantasy: the body sculpted in gold.

To adorn the body as jewellery...over clothes, against bare skin.

Above, the torso,the breasts of Veruschka von Lehndorff in vermeil. Every part - texture of skin, beauty of line - cast in copper from wax moulds and dipped in gold."

Woodstock

Saturday afternoon on the farm of Max Yasgur, 1969.

"A plague of people. A slough. A three-day anguish that no one who was there regrets: Hundreds of thousands of kids come together to enjoy each other in the presence of music, and of peace. They lived for a weekend in the still eye of a hurricane."

Picnic on the Campground, 1969

"Let the world know how groovy we can be,"

Ritchie Havens shouted on Friday from the raw plank stage as high as a house. For three days the inhabitants of "a city of nearly half a million without buildings" showed. Their one-to-one, all-to-all charity caught. Whether peace depended on pot became beside the point: The police weren't drugged nor were the show-me citizens of farmland New York. "It's all right," they said, and "They're wonderful kids," and "They couldn't have known what they were getting into: we've got to take care of them." Strangers? To whom? "You're here, and it's big, and it's going to be bigger," said Richie Havens, "so go with it." 

A share of the world did.

The Bathers, 1969

"Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, But to be young was very heaven!"

William Wordsworth

"Although no one stopped complaining for a minute, especially about the four young promoters whose hypedream of profit got away from them and became a mass vision that rolled up out of Oregon and New Mexico and Florida and trampled down a dairy farm. Under blame lay bliss the equal to that William Wordsworth wrote in 1805. The Cause was the music: the effect became the people. Living with joy and without affectation. On the rain-struck night, looking out over the hunched multitude, Arlo Guthrie cried out his love: "Hey, man, you're a bunch of freaks."

The Spirit of the Young Sleeping, 1969

"Rhythm is life, you know."

Jimi Hendrix said that early Monday morning to the remnant fifty or sixty thousand for whom exhaustion had slipped into euphoria. He added, "Melody is love. The melody is when you find your lady." And the song is youth and life, and singing it together. An eighteen-year-old girl only regretted John Lennon's absence with his song that has become an anthem, "All we are saying is give peace a chance." No one who undertook the once-in-a-world weekend will ever, possibly, be quite the same again. Nor will the consideration of the young by those who paid attention to them be the same again. Ever. Quite."

YOUTHQUAKE

There is a marvellous moment that starts at thirteen and wastes no time. No Longer waits to grow up, but makes its own way, its own look by the end of the week. Gone is the once-upon-a-daydream world. The dreams, still there, break into action: writing, singing, acting, designing. Youth, warm and gay as a kitten yet self-sufficient as James Bond, is surprising countries east and west with a sense of assurance serene beyond all years.

The year's in its youth, the youth in its year.

YOUTHQUAKE FASHION

I remember like it was today, my mother coming home from a buying trip to Europe and taking me into the bathroom to cut my bangs just so. the idea was to create a graduated fringe low over the eyes and dropping mid-ear to create a frame for the face. She had seen the look on Elizabeth Taylor while in London and decided it was perfect for me. Along with the new 'do,' was a wonderful crayon yellow, white and navy chevron striped vinyl mini skirt (wish I had kept it,) Beatle jackets for my brothers - grey, collarless with black piping, and pairs of Mary Quant flowered white pantyhose like those above by Beautiful Bryans. These were all the rage in Europe. Unfortunately, my un-Twiggy-like legs just never could rock this look - a look best left to long and leggy skinny girls which, try as I may, I was not going to become. 

I wisely stuck to the black version.

Paula Feiten

A poster-girl for the original 'London Look,' Ford model Paula Feiten was big on the pages of seventeen magazine and other popular fashion magazines of the sixties. A blonde version of the successful teen model Colleen Corby, both shared a similar pout and winsome look that was in demand after the arrival of Twiggy and her success on the international fashion stage. Feiten and Corby came to epitomize the new, young, mod look that was revolutionizing American fashion.
