Quotes of note..from a sixties icon.

SIXTIES STYLE ICONS




BRIGITTE BARDOT

Arguably the most famous sex-kitten of all time - she was to the Sixties what Marilyn Monroe was to the Fifties - Brigitte Bardot's beauty and style is still an inspiration to this very day. The French actress, born in 1934, was the embodiment of the Sixties carefree, laisez-faire lifestyle; residing in St. Tropez, she enjoyed the heady existence that typified the time, making films, music and love in abundance. She is credited with boosting the popularity of the bikini and, of course, outrageously sexy hairstyles, like voluminous tousled curls, and the beehive. She shot to fame in 1956 in her then-husband Roger Vadim's And God Created Woman. In 1973, just before her 40th birthday, Brigitte announced her retirement - after making 50 films and several albums, she chose to dedicate her life to animal rights campaigns, with which she's still heavily involved to this day.

TWIGGY

Regarded as the first teenage supermodel, Twiggy was the face of Sixties London. As soon as she hit the scene in 1966, she was an instant icon. Possibly the first 'size zero' model, Lesley Hornby became
known by her childhood nickname of Twiggy. Her high fashion mod style, created by Mary Quant, and short-haired androgynous look made tidal waves in the fashion world. She was also well known for drawing huge fake
eyelashes under her bottom lashes. Twiggy, who was born in 1949, became a worldwide phenomenon when she landed in New York in 1967, and her 'look' still pervades the catwalks today.

SIXTIES STYLE ICONS

MARY QUANT
Think fashion in the Sixties, think Mary Quant. Best-known as the creator of the miniskirt (one of the defining looks of the Sixties) - although André Courréges also lays claim to this -
she also pioneered other styles that became known as signature Sixties: coloured and patterned tights, paint-box make-up, plastic macs and, in the later Sixties, hotpants. Her first shop on London's King's Road,
Bazaar - the destination for cool-cats and trendsetters - became so popular she opened another one in Knightsbridge and, by 1965, was importing to the US. Prominent journalist Bernard Levin aptly described her as the 'High Priestess of Sixties Fashion' and, in 1966, she was honoured with an OBE for her services to the fashion industry.

The Lovely Bridget Bardot....



Brigitte Anne-Marie Bardot (pronounce "Bardoe") [1][2] (French pronunciation: [bʁiʒit baʁdo]; born 28 September 1934) is a French former actress, animal rights activist, fashion model, and singer.
In her early life Bardot was an aspiring ballet dancer. She started her acting career in 1952 and after appearing in 16 films became world-famous due to her role in the controversial film And God Created Woman. During her career in show business Bardot starred in 48 films, performed in numerous musical shows, and recorded 80 songs. After her retirement from the entertainment industry in 1973, Bardot established herself as an animal rights activist. During the 1990s she became outspoken due to her criticism of immigration, race-mixing, some aspects of homosexuality and Islam in France, and has been fined five times for "inciting racial hatred".
