#FEMALE FASHION

“. . . [W]hatever sartorial devices men have put on to bolster their body image—codpieces, elevated shoes, padded shoulders, a boxy jacket—these did not constrict or cause pain. The truth is, men have barely tampered with their bodies at all, historically, to make themselves more appealing to women. The development of biceps and pectorals is an honorable byproduct of hard physical labor and an aid to competitive feats of sport and strength. Musclebound body builders, the man in the elevated shoe or the baldy who wears a toupee have been grist for the jokester's mill, under the masculine theory that real men do not trick themselves out to be pleasing. (They have better ways to prove their worth.) A woman, on the other hand, is expected to depend on tricks and suffering to prove her feminine nature, for beauty, as men have defined it for women, is an end in itself.”

Fashion in the sixties. The era of stiletto heels, mini skirts, oversized buttons and psychedelic prints!

Mary Quant remains one of the most influential fashion designers of the 1960s, popularising the mini skirt and super high hemlines and many other looks that were critical to the development of the Swinging Sixties!

“As far back as the Bible and the writings of the early Christians, women were denounced as prideful and whorish for indulging in the extravagance of fashion. Entire he-man industries—baleen whaling, fur trapping and the like—were built on a woman’s need to look feminine and appealing, and yet when the fashion peaked or the supply was exhausted, the conceit of womanhood was blamed. Women were blamed for the annihilation of whales to make stays for their corsets, women were blamed for the near- extinction of egrets to put feathers in their hats. Women were blamed for the miserable conditions of the Belgian lacemakers and the Japanese silkworm workers, and women are blamed today for the murder of baby seals and rare leopards. Yet the point of it all was usually to please a man, for it accrued to his success that his woman was arrayed in such majestic finery.”
