1960's Icons of Fashion

I began reading one of my mams psychology books 'Fashion, culture, and identity' by Fred Davis. The book stated 'That the clothes we wear make a statement is itself a statement that in this age of heightened self-consciousness has virtually become a cliche' - It made me question the nature of the statements we make with our clothes as well as other material artefacts we surround ourselves with. 
The book underlines the deeper meanings through the idea of fashion as a culture. 
Paying particular interest to the Icons of the sixties below are some familiar faces you've probably seen before..


Catherine Deneuve

 Audrey Hepburn

 Twiggy (Who I am considering recreating)
