Fashion in the Swinging Sixties and the Girls Who Wore It Well

The following photos are scans of some of the leading models from the 60's. Jean Shrimpton, arguably the 60's most famous model.  Twiggy and Edie, waif blondes with huge eyes who changed culture and fashion with their bony, beautiful little bodies. Catherine Deneuve, another Bailey girl. And Sue Murray, one of the most beautiful girls on the planet.

A cool advert:
