Who invented the mini-skirt?

No one knows for certain who invented the mini-skirt. Hemlines began to grow shorter during the late 1950s, with notable pieces like the Balenciaga Sack dress and the Dior Trapeze line designed by Yves Saint Laurent. This trend continued into the 1960s, and in 1964, designer André Courrèges made headlines with the leg-showing skirts featured in his runway show. Although which designer was the first to actually create the mini-skirt is open for debate, most experts agree that British designer Mary Quant was responsible for popularizing it. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of vintage mini-skirts.

What dresses did they wear in the 1960s?

The dresses they wore in the 1960s varied depending on the time of day and the occasion. For everyday wear, many women opted for simply tailored frocks called shift dresses. They often featured bold geometric prints in eye-catching colors. In the evening, women tended to opt for gowns with plunging necklines, fitted waists and flowing full skirts. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of vintage dresses from the 1960s.

What did men wear in the 1960s?

What men wore in the 1960s varied over the course of the decade. At the start of the ’60s, when the Mod style was all the rage, men often sported boxy Italian-style suits with tight-fitting trousers for work and dressier occasions and polo shirts and turtlenecks paired with fitted trousers for casual dress. As the decade progressed, the Peacock Revolution occurred, with menswear becoming flashier with bright colors and bold prints. Fedoras and trilby hats were common in the early ’60s, but by the start of the 1970s, hats for men were much less common, marking a major departure from the style conventions of the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s. Explore an assortment of 1960s men's apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.

What is 1960s-style furniture called?

Generally, 1960s-style furniture is called mid-century modern. The style, which emerged primarily in the years following World War II, is characterized by pieces that were conceived and made in an energetic, optimistic spirit by creators who believed that good design was an essential part of good living. Some of the most notable furniture designers of the time include Charles and Ray Eames, Arne Jacobsen, Eero Saarinen and Hans J. Wegner. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of mid-century modern furniture.

Who was the most famous fashion designer in the 1960s?

Who the most famous fashion designer of the 1960s was is open to debate. Many designers helped define the looks of the decade, each influencing style in their own way. Among these notable designers were Mary Quant, André Courrèges, Pierre Cardin, Yves Saint Laurent, Bonnie Cashin, Hubert de Givenchy, Emilio Pucci, Paco Rabanne and Ossie Clark. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of vintage apparel and accessories from the 1960s.

Questions About 1960s Mini Skirt

Who invented the mini-skirt?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
No one knows for certain who invented the mini-skirt. Hemlines began to grow shorter during the late 1950s, with notable pieces like the Balenciaga Sack dress and the Dior Trapeze line designed by Yves Saint Laurent. This trend continued into the 1960s, and in 1964, designer André Courrèges made headlines with the leg-showing skirts featured in his runway show. Although which designer was the first to actually create the mini-skirt is open for debate, most experts agree that British designer Mary Quant was responsible for popularizing it. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of vintage mini-skirts.
What dresses did they wear in the 1960s?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
The dresses they wore in the 1960s varied depending on the time of day and the occasion. For everyday wear, many women opted for simply tailored frocks called shift dresses. They often featured bold geometric prints in eye-catching colors. In the evening, women tended to opt for gowns with plunging necklines, fitted waists and flowing full skirts. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of vintage dresses from the 1960s.
What did men wear in the 1960s?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
What men wore in the 1960s varied over the course of the decade. At the start of the ’60s, when the Mod style was all the rage, men often sported boxy Italian-style suits with tight-fitting trousers for work and dressier occasions and polo shirts and turtlenecks paired with fitted trousers for casual dress. As the decade progressed, the Peacock Revolution occurred, with menswear becoming flashier with bright colors and bold prints. Fedoras and trilby hats were common in the early ’60s, but by the start of the 1970s, hats for men were much less common, marking a major departure from the style conventions of the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s. Explore an assortment of 1960s men's apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.
What is 1960s-style furniture called?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
Generally, 1960s-style furniture is called mid-century modern. The style, which emerged primarily in the years following World War II, is characterized by pieces that were conceived and made in an energetic, optimistic spirit by creators who believed that good design was an essential part of good living. Some of the most notable furniture designers of the time include Charles and Ray Eames, Arne Jacobsen, Eero Saarinen and Hans J. Wegner. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of mid-century modern furniture.
