This was inspired by two books I'm reading- Girl Groups, Girl Culture: Popular Music and Identity in the 1960s and She's So Fine: Reflections on Whiteness, Femininity and Adolescence in 1960s Girl Groups- which are, as the titles suggest, academic analyses of 1960s girl music and, perhaps, the best thing ever published.
The specific inspiration for these were groups that represented more rebellious personalities such as The Crystals (on one record) The Shangri Las and The Ronettes. This collection by Gwen Stefani reminded me exactly of these groups as well as the rebellious students in the movie To Sir With Love

I like the dress on the far left with the hint of yellow. The neckline is an interesting contrast to the sleeves and hem, but all in all it reminds me the most of the time period.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nicely crafted blog, Ari. I love the background image as well. The era and clothing choices for this blog are very cool. I wish I was 20 yrs younger so I could wear them. My choices would be the two middle outfits. I am a huge fan of anything Bomber jacket in resemblance and I do like my earth-tone colors! Great job.
