golden living dreams of visions.


Hippie culture was very influential in the 1960s. It's ideals of peace, love and the longing for a simpler existence struck a chord with the world and inspired some of the greatest music, art, film and fashion of the decade. The bright and colorful, yet simple style of hippie clothing found its way into mainstream fashion of the time and elements of it can still be seen in modern fashion.

something in the way she moves.


For my first post, I thought it would only be appropriate to feature the woman who first gave me a real interest in fashion, Pattie Boyd.
Wife and muse to both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, she has inspired some of the greatest songs ever written such as "Layla", "Wonderful Tonight" and "Something."
Pattie was a very popular and influential model during the 1960s and style icon Twiggy has even said that she modeled her look after Pattie's. Pattie has been featured on several covers of UK and Italian Vogue magazines and is now an accomplished photographer.
