Paco Rabanne...Those were the days...

It's clear that the main focus or "star" of this photo is the Paco Rabanne dress worn by the model, however I posted this photograph because it shows a scene of a night party circa 1966-1967. Looking at it just makes me realize how party/dress etiquette has gradually been disappearing throughout the decades...a point and thought I've read on many blogs. Unfortunately it has been a massive loss, however there are still some that know how to dress well according to the ocassion...some kind of rare "species". And although Paco Rabanne's designs were mainly for women, his 60s dresses and clothing made out of plastic and metal helped him earn an iconic place in this decade's fashion.

Easy Rider in Cannes

Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper in Cannes during the promotion of "Easy Rider". It seems they mixed "modern" clothing with ethnic inspired pieces...Worth noticing Fonda's leather jacket and Hopper's Safari jacket and necklace.

Harbor

William Dafoe posing in the late 60s/early 70s on the harbor of probably San Francisco. The color coordination is just fantastic!

Evolution

Another pic from Bianca Jagger's legendary party at Studio 54. I really like Mick Jagger's outfit, it shows how his style evolved from the crazy fads he wore in the 60s to something more classic and elegant in the 70s. What makes his outfit brilliant is that it can be really from any decade...60s, 70s, 80s, 90, or even 00s.

Barroque Summer

Looking at the suit featued in the 1969 photo below brings to me echoes of the current collections of Etro. Although it's a suit I wouldn't wear because I'm not a fan of "barroque" clothes, I can't go without noticing the detailing and all. I suspect the fabric is linen. The tie blends well with the suit, and I do like it. For this wintery days nothing better than some sunshine, although it's in a photo ;)

Revival

A revival of the late 60s Edwardian style shirts can be see in this gold shirt below. Not to mention the background is very 60s too.
