THE LOOK: SWINGING WITH THE '60'S

May 20, 2014 @ 6:00 AM Laura Brown falls for Fall

I started to feel groovy about Fall 2014 the second I laid eyes on Gucci. There was Nadja Bender in a skinny blue suit, a green shirt, a matching shaggy fur, and my favorite new accessory: thick-framed sage-colored aviator sunglasses. (Sage is the new rose, don't you know.) I felt even groovier when I clocked her blue snakeskin boots, kicking away like Twiggy on Carnaby Street. Now, I know the '60s comes back into fashion like...60 times a year, but I just dig it.

I like tailored coats with oversize buttons, simple graphic cuts, and boots, boots, boots (see also Valentino's patchwork numbers—they'll make you want to click your heels). Add to that the beauty of that era: full-bodied hair I'll never have, winged eyeliner I could have, the general go-go glamour. When it comes to go-go, no show was more anticipated than Nicolas Ghesquière's debut at Louis Vuitton. And Ghesquière was swinging too! Although his fabrics were modern, the silhouettes were '60s, from the neatness of the shirt collars to the subtle flirtiness of the skirts. His collection promised the freedom that mod girlishness brings, all tied up with an LV bow.

Back to the Future With ’60s Space-Age Chic

The space race in the 1960s produced a crop of young designers aiming to equip the fashion masses for what they assumed to be the next frontier. Chin-strap space bonnets, flat ankle boots, and sleek, plastic-like tech fabrics typified the space-age look as women readied themselves for a new sartorial stratosphere. Nowhere was this truer than with André Courrèges, whose designs epitomized the era’s affection for everything outer space.

Designing for the year 2000, Courrèges’s eponymous label championed the youthful mod aesthetic for his sophisticated 1960s couture clientele. Abbreviated hemlines, contrasting borders, and punchy stripes in silhouettes borrowed from children’s wear comprised the designer’s vocabulary. A photograph by William Klein (a fellow proponent of the mod aesthetic) from Vogue’s March 1, 1965 issue celebrated the then-fledgling designer: Dressed exclusively in Courrèges, a pair of bespectacled models appear as fashionable intergalactic representatives from the planet earth.

But the look came down to earth, too: One might recall Audrey Hepburn whizzing around in her convertible in the opening sequence of How to Steal a Million, outfitted in milky white Courrèges, from her chin-strap helmet to her white kid gloves. And the Courrèges look inevitably finds its way onto inspiration boards at many of our contemporary designers’ studios: Consider Raf Simons’s astronaut jumpsuits at Christian Dior’s fall couture 2014 show, or Frida Giannini’s coupling of mod shifts and patent-leather boots at Gucci’s fall 2014 show. And just as designers are continuously looking back to the future, why shouldn’t you own a piece of fashion history? Click through to shop the look.

Alicia Vikander as Gaby

Gaby's character has a very elegant look when she's completely dressed up however seems slightly dippy, her hair styles have ranged throughout the film however I like this one the most. This is when she goes and meets up with her dad who is a scientist, she wearing a lovely bright orange patterned dress large white earrings and large sunglasses. I think her hairstyle is very simple yet elegant, she has a slight fringe to the side, a small beehive at the back and then its in a low ponytail that's slightly curled.

Victoria is a very sophisticated wealthy lady and can own pretty much anyone and anything. Shes very tall and slender and is always looking her best. I really like this photo of her because it really projects her character, quite a stern look, always has quite heavy perfect make-up and neat hair. In this photo her hair is scraped back in a mid pony tail and certain sections have been rolled over and gripped in and the rest is down in curls.
