- 55. SWINGING SIXTIES Clothing styles have always mirrored the prevailing attitudes of the time and this is certainly true of fashion in the 1960s. The decade was marked by sweeping social; change and the domination of youth culture- baby boomers were growing up and demanded their own fashion style. Designers responded with much more liberal, daring approach to fashion, boasting colourful fabrics and bold designs. Clothing broke with social traditions that dictated what could be worn when and by whom. In the past attire had been divided n to „formal‟ and „casual‟ wear, and distinct separations were made between the styles of clothing worn by men and women.

- 58. THE DESIGNER DECADE In the modern age, fashion designers have become celebrities and catwalk shows are major events Late in the 20th century creativity reached new heights and designers began to use the runway show as theatre, as in Alexander McQueen's Springs Summer 1999 Collection, where machines spray painted the models" dresses in front of the audience. The London Designer collections were established in the 1980s, and fashion journalists and buyers travelled to New York, London. Milan, and Pars every spring and autumn to view the collection for the following season. The power of the brand, from Armani to Burberry became international-designers' names sold products. Calvin Klein's fragrances for example. sold an aspirational lifestyle, and his underwear line in the 1990s was so famous that the garment became known simply by the designers name. For the first time, fashions emerged from the street not the design studio. Towards the end of the 20th century the dress of sub-cultural groups from Goths to surfers became increasingly mainstream. The freehand authentic feel to street style seized the imagination of designers, and the styles themselves became more complex as designers adapted and reworked them.

- 60. VIVIENNE WESTWOOD In terms of creativity and the ability to place fashion at the heart of a vital popular culture, Vivienne Westwood may be the greatest designer of the twentieth century. Her method is not so very different from that of many designers, particularly other British designers trained in an art-school tradition. Clothing has always reconstructed and modified the structure of the body and it still does today. What seems to surprise and upset people is reconstructions that don‟t accord with what they consider to be the norm, the present accepted idea of beauty. If you design a dress with a sellier, the padding that gives it a rounded form has become a subversive act.
- 61. ISSEY MIYAKE In the introduction to the first book on the work of Issey Miyake, East Meets West, published in 1978, Diana Vreeland, then retired from US Vogue and heading the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, wrote, „His clothes are totally his and his alone. Miyake‟s vision is unique. He was the precursor, leader and mentor of a new school of Japanese design, which took the fashion world by storm in the early 1980s. He was not the first Japanese designer to find fame in the West, but he was the first to create something new and revolutionary. He drew deeply on both oriental and occidental traditions of dress to produce the hybrid style that was to change everyone‟s perceptions of what clothing could be.
