Fashion Flashback

     There has been a surge of 60s fashion in Hollywood.  
     Celebrities like Sienna Miller, Paris Hilton, Michelle Williams, and Hilary Duff have been seen wearing the mod fashion of the sixties (fashioninmotion).
     The mod fashion uses bold colors and minimalistic patterns with A-lined dresses and high-waisted mini skirts.  Necklines of mod dresses are also sometimes embellished with jewels and large buttons for a more chic look (lucyandlolita).
     Twiggy was the first supermodel in the world and she was an icon in the sixties for her mod fashion (twiggylawson).
     The Emmy award-winning television show Mad Men might have played some part in the recurrence of the sixties fashion.  The television show is set in the early sixties and centers around the employees of a fictional NYC advertising company and their families (cine-fille).
     The show is well-known for its spectacular sixties wardrobe.  The cast wears costumes designed by Janie Byrant.  The styles range from the classical beauty of the character of Betty Draper to the old-fashioned look of the character of Peggy Olson (fashioninmotion).
     The sixties are back for now but what decade will be revisited in the future?
