3. DRESS, FASHION TRENDS Everything was changing in America during the 1960’s. The war ended a few years earlier and the post-war Baby Boomers were just stopping their boom and giving way to normal American life. Fashion designers also began to change during the 1960’s, as the ‘50’s had represented a clear imitation of the rock ‘n roll lifestyle. White sleeves rolled up on a t-shirt and a pair of black jeans was no longer the norm during the ‘60’s and legit fashion designers brought couture into fashion during this decade. Chanel made the first mark on the scene and the change was set into motion.
