Boutique : A 60's Cultural Phenomenon
Editorial Reviews Book Description The emergence of the boutique in the 1960s offered fashion to the young and the "cool". Old-fashioned manufacturing practices and the rigid attitude of buyers gave maverick designers the impetus to start their own businesses. The boutique revolutionized shopping, stimulated a new interest in self-image, and became a venue for customers to meet and entertain friends. The first book to chronicle the social and cultural phenomena of the boutique, this beautifully illustrated volume showcases the key players of the era including Barbara Hulanicki of Biba, Sir Paul Smith, Alice Pollock, John Bates, and the photographers, models, and fashion editors of the time. Illustrated with superb photographs and illustrations from the 60s, this is an invaluable resource for all students of fashion design, and a fascinating read for both the fashion and sixties enthusiast. About the Author Marnie Flagg is a media consultant on all aspects of the fashion industry. An authority on Art and Design Advanced Practice and Theory, and an exhibiting artist, she is currently lecturing on Visual Studies at the University of Nottingham.
