The clothes shown above were not what teenagers and young twenties wore in London in the ’60’s and maybe that is not what you are saying but as your site is going on record for future generations I thought it would be important to note this. Probably the clothes you show were worn in the US or by older (maybe 30’s women) at the time.

Also Biba’s clothes were innovative and chic. I used to go to her 2nd boutique as a teenager. Looking up online I haven’t seen much of the outfits that I used to see back then. I used to go to her Kensington Church street shop. Later when she went upscale (her 3rd boutique) the clothes were fashioned more for 20’s women and were more expensive. Which as a teenager I found very disappointing.

Mary Quant was know mostly for the amazing Op Art designs on the fabric of her clothes. Not sure if she was the first one to do this but her designs were radical.

Bell bottoms were in; velvet jeans; long knitted cardigans; granny shoes and sandals; maxi coats; crocheted tops and dresses; girls wearing short boys sweaters; ankle boots or knee high boots; chiffon was in with flouncy necklines but tasteful colours; platform shoes; leather skirts; levi’s became popular in the 60’s; short A line dresses; dresses with elastic under the bust that then flared out a bit; a lot of fabrics from Morocco and India; long velvet jackets and waistcoats; double breasted long jackets; blouses with two long flowing ties at the neck line to knot; genuine embroidered eastern european peasant blouses. It’s fun reminiscing.

Thank you Sammy. :-)

I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any tips? Cheers!
