***

The swingin' sixties revolutionized style with its unique blend of bold prints and shorter hemlines. It was a decade that celebrated mod fashion with icons like Twiggy leading the charge, popularizing the pixie cut and mini skirts. Black and white photography from this era captures the essence of 60s chic, with crisp lines and contrast epitomizing the coolness of retro aesthetics. This image evokes the timelessness of that era, where fashion did not merely suggest elegance but shouted it unapologetically from the rooftops. Embrace the nostalgia of the 60s with a nod to its iconic silhouettes and fearless attitudes towards expressing personal style.

    I did not dare to wear trousers until the late 50's and that was because I was climbing a mountain ! I climbed up a volcano in Uganda in the 50's as well but wore a skirt and blouse in spite of the terrain. Ladies simply did not put pants on !
