grace: 60s

Pucci clothes always remind me of summer. During the 60s and 70s-the designs were brightly-colored, effortless, comfy, and audaciously patterned. Pucci experimented with many different materials suited for his trademark sportswear. Typically, he used nylon because it was easy to maintain and resistant-and helanca which could be stretched to up to five times without losing its shape (there were also many pieces made of jersey). Pucci was inspired by Hippie style for cotton djellabas-the Arab influenced pyjama trousers.
Using geometric prints, Pucci drew his color palette from natural and exotic landscapes of the Cote d’Azur and Mediterranean islands. The designs were meant to evoke a youthful and practical style that could be worn all day.

Hi Guys, I've been working really hard to get this post out by the end of the day-because the rest of my weekend is going to be dedicated to studying for my finals. I didn't want to leave you hanging, especially since its been so long since I've posted.
David Bailey’s book Goodbye Baby & Amen is a comprehensive record of his work from the swinging sixties. Bailey captures the decade he first burgeoned in, with portraits of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, as well as actresses, politicians, artists and writers of the day. It was released in 1969, by David Bailey and Peter Evans.
