Channeling the Swinging Sixties - A Fashionable Twist on Gangster Style
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1966, we are transported back to the vibrant and revolutionary era of London's swinging fashion scene. The model confidently showcases a white gabardine "gangster" hat by renowned designer Edward Mann, adorned with a striking red, white, and blue striped band that adds a touch of patriotic flair. But it is not just the hat that catches our attention – her makeup steals the show. Richard Hudnut's skillful application of bright pink bloom cream rouge creates whimsical hearts on the model's cheeks, adding an element of playfulness to her look. This daring cosmetic choice perfectly encapsulates the spirit of experimentation and self-expression that defined 1960s fashion. The photograph captures a moment in time when love and romance were celebrated in every aspect of life. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, this image serves as a reminder of how fashion can intertwine with emotions. The combination of Edward Mann's stylish headwear and Richard Hudnut's innovative makeup technique evokes feelings of joy and excitement. As we admire this historical artifact from Mary Evans Prints Online collection, let us appreciate its significance within Peter Akehurst’s documentation of London’s cultural history during this transformative decade. It reminds us that fashion has always been more than just clothing; it is an art form through which individuals express their identity and embrace societal change.
