Concentrating on fashion in the 1960's

As part of my university work I was asked to look into a fashion era and create a mood board of what I feel represents that era, I chose the late 1960's. 

The early 1960's started off very much like the 1950's - conservative and restrained, certainly more classic in design and style. Whereas the late 1960's were the exact opposite.

Bright, swirling colors. Psychedelic, tie-dye shirts and long hair and beards were commonplace. Woman wore unbelievably short skirts and men wore tunics and capes. The foray into fantasy would not have been believed by people just a decade earlier.

For the first time in the 19th century London was the centre of the fashion world. The British invasion didn't stop with The Beatles, it swept all parts of life, especially clothing. 

It was common knowledge that in the late 1960's women would wear peekaboo fishnets, spidery weaves and lace. As well as high-rise stretch vinyl and patent leather. In addition to leg, the fashion world fell in love with Twiggy, the skinny 17-year-old British model who burst upon the scene, adorned every magazine cover and brought the age of the mini-mod to the forefront. 

Here is my 1960's inspired mood board:

Do you have a fashion era that inspires you and the way you dress?
