Mick & Bianca Jagger: A Night at "The Copa"

On October 1976 one of New York City's famed night clubs, The Copacabana or "The Copa" as it was also known, re-opened as a discotheque. To celebrate the occasion a pre-opening party was held in honor of Andy Warhol. John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Mick & Bianca Jagger were among the attendees.

Mick & Bianca proved once more why black is a color that goes well with anything and can be worn at any occasion. They both added some contrast to their ensembles with a horizontal striped shirt; and what appears to be a silk scarf tied on Bianca's neck and her satin belt. It must be remembered that Mick & Bianca Jagger topped best dressed lists and influenced fashion in the 70s.

Franco Nero & Veruschka: Rome 1968

Franco Nero, an Italian actor best remembered for his portrayal of Lancelot in 1966's "Camelot", was visited on set, at the outskirts of Rome, while filming "A Quiet Place in the Country" by Veruschka.

The ensemble worn by Nero reflects some of the popular trends in menswear in 1968: Safari inspired shirt jackets, print scarfs, and belts worn over shirts. On the other hand Veruschka picked for this occasion a classic look with a very modern touch, a bare midriff.

Bryan Ferry & Jerry Hall: Slave To White

Bryan Ferry was one of the few who opted for the "Dandy Rocker" look in the 70s. And several decades later, Ferry made this his signature look because it's classic and has never gone out of style.

In 1976 he and his girlfriend at the time, Jerry Hall, posed for a series of photographs in which both wore all white ensembles. Below a photo from this series that is truly a piece of photographic art.

Hugo Boss: Spring/Summer 2011

Hugo Boss shows on its Spring/Summer 2011 campaign why colors such as white, light and navy blue should be worn during this season. Besides being fresh, these colors are a symbol of elegance and good taste.

An ensemble like the one worn by Mark Vanderloo, made up of a navy blue two-button jacket, light blue shirt, matching pocketsquare, and white pants, is a Spring/Summer essential. If the weather's too hot, one can remove the jacket and roll up the shirt's sleeves. Tortoise eyeglasses will add the finishing touch to this sleek and versatile ensemble.

The Who: Swingin' Style

The Who, one of the leading and most popular groups in rock history, played an important role in the evolution of this genre in England during the Swingin' 60s. They influenced, and still influence, with their music many other performers and even created "performing trends" such as destroying their instruments on stage.

But it was not only songs such as "My Generation" that caught the attention of many around the world, their impeccable sense of style also did. The Who showed what fashion was like in London's Carnaby Street, eclectic, creative, and innovative; a fashion revolution.

Below a photo from the band that provides an example of some popular trends from the late 60s: velvet jackets, colorful print scarves, frills, wide lapel jackets, turtlenecks, shaggy haircuts, jackets with applications such as sequins, medallions, and plain t-shirts.
