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.

CURRENT THEN - CURRENT NOW



Known for his elaborate jewelled eye makeup featured in Vogue throughout  the sixties, Pablo Manzoni was then the creative director for Elizabeth Arden.  In 1966, Time Magazine heralded him as "Manhattan's newest status symbol - a necessary part of the well-dressed sophisticate's beauty routine. Said Pablo, "I have never seen an ugly woman."
