Sixties Styling in Fashion: Gaultier, Jacobs and L.A.M.B influences.

I want to look at how the Sixties style has been brought into contemporary styling to get more of idea how I can turn authentic Sixties styling into a high fashion editorial shoot.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

Jean Paul Gaultier featured Beehive hairstyles heavily in his Spring/Summer 2013 Couture show.






The stylist has made the hairstyle a lot more "fashion" by making the Beehive VERY high, this is something I will incorporate into my own design to keep the look fresh and interesting but still typical Sixties.

MARC JACOBS

Marc Jacobs was also influenced by the Sixties and used the typical twiggy make-up on his models at his Spring/Summer 2013 show.





The stylists for Marc Jacobs have made the Sixties make-up more "fashion" by intensifying the black crease and hugely defining the eyebrows.

GWEN STEFFANI'S L.A.M.B SHOW 2012

I found that Gwen Steffani also used the Sixties to influence her L.A.M.B show in 2012.




She used a half-up half-down version of the Beehive and the Sixties make-up focused on the extension (and drawing on of) the bottom lashes.


WHAT THIS HAS SHOWN ME

Seeing the ways that designers have used the Sixties style in their work has shown me how to make a Sixties design look Editorial and high-fashion while keeping it authentic.Each designer has focused on something different, which has helped me a lot because many of these things are aspects that have been thinking about incorporating into my own design. This research has helped me think about this in more of a "fashion" way.
