FASHION ICONS 

TWIGGY 
Twiggy is a personal favourite of mine and have always loved her look..

JEAN SHRIMPTON 

the worlds first supermodel, from being a middle class school girl to one of the most famous faces in the sixties.Famed for her relationship with bad boy photographer david Bailey.

AUDREY HEPBURN

Stylish in every decade, but became a real star in the sixties with the release of "My Fair Lady" and "Breakfast at Tiffanys".She made drainpipe jeans a style staple.

FRANCOISE HARDY 

not the girliest but an effortless look with a beautiful face and a simple wardrobe but cool,created hipster appeal in the 60s.

JACKIE ONNASIS (jaqueline kennedy)
