Chapter 5

60's

The fashion is renewed and new designers come to light who want to make their own revolution.  The rock music, the drugs and the sexual liberation does make the fashion more weirdie. Mary Quant and André Courrèges have a controversy because of their discovery for the famous "mini" skirt. The mini became the symbol of the decade.  Yves Saint Laurent launches the "look Mondriane", inspired by the geometric paintings of the Dutch painter. Courrèges makes his own real revolution with his plastic spacial clothes. Paco Rabanne presents clothes made of medal. The tiny bikinis are became adorable by both men and women. Models, such as Twiggy and Berouska are the idols of beauty. In Greece, Yiannis Vouros, the designer of the unique dresses that we see in the Greek cinema opens his first atelier. In addition, in this decade Greek designers become famous worldwide.
