Fashion

In 1967, the space age was replaced by the Edwardian, with the men wearing double-breated suits of crushed velvet or stiped patterns, brocade waistcoats, shirts with frilled collars, and their hair worn below the collar bone. 2.) In 1964, French designer Andre Courreges introduced the "space look", with trouser suits, box-shaped dresses, whose skirts soared three inches above the knee, boots, and goggles. These were mainly designed in flourescent colours and shiny fabrics such as PVC and sequins. 3.)This was when the "angel dress" made it's appearance on the fashion scene. Short, with flared skirt and long, wide sleeves, it was usually worn with boots, patterned tights, and was sometimes made of lace or velvet. For evening wear, skimpy chiffon dresses with spaghetti-straps were the mode as well as the "cocktail dress", which was a close-fitting sheath, usually covered in lace with matching long sleeves. Footwear for women included low-heeled slingback sandals, and square-toed, square-heeled pumps as well as the Courreges boots. Both shoes and handbags were often made of patent leather. The Beatles wore elastic-sided boots similar to Winkle-pickers with pointed toes and Cuban heels. These were known as //Beatle boots//, and were widely copied by young men in Britain.
