EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the groovy and vibrant year of 1965, where fashion took a bold step forward with a blend of prim Victorian elegance and psychedelic prints. On the left, a Victorian-printed cotton dress by Ricki Reed exudes an air of sophistication with its pique collar and cuffs, the skirt stiffly quilted from the hips. This dress, with its classic silhouette, represents the enduring appeal of traditional styles that continued to shape women's fashion during the 1960s. On the right, the Ascher boutique at Simpson offers a striking contrast with a bell-sleeved blouse in soft batik-printed silk. The blouse, tucked into the elasticized waistband of an instep-length skirt, embodies the free-spirited and experimental nature of the era. The intricate and colorful batik prints were a popular choice for young women seeking to express their individuality and embrace the changing times. This photograph captures the essence of the 1960s, a decade marked by social and cultural transformation. The juxtaposition of the prim Victorian-inspired dress and the psychedelic silk outfit highlights the unique blend of old and new that defined the fashion landscape during this period. These outfits, both timeless and iconic, continue to inspire and captivate us today.
