Our trip to the museum was fascinating; I enjoyed seeing the vast difference between the ages of fashion and how pieces evolved into what they are today. For example, the “little black dress” we all know and love; as you can see started as a long black gown with lace detailing on the top and ruffle trims , it was a great way to visualize how women dressed during this age of time and fascinating to see the contrast from then to now. Today the little black dress is a staple in any women's closet. Going onto a similar garment that we can still see today and see different versions of it is this beautiful Schiaparelli Ivory silk satin silk robe dress. This silk robe is just a beautiful statement that resembles the contemporary art of Schiaparelli and a mix of her collectibles from Asia and Europe. We can still see designers using inspiration from their travels from around the world and seeking inspiration from collectibles and sightseeing.

Fast forward to the 70s with Barbara Hulanicki for Bilba and this cotton-printed ensemble that I adore. This mini dress resembles Barbara’s disco-inspired collections; she had a love for disco and her home was filled with pieces that are filled with inspiration. Her power in fashion created the second wave of British fashion post World War II. Personally, the 70s is my favorite era of fashion because it was whimsical, the birth of mini skirts thanks to Mary Quant in the early 70s (late 60). Of course, Studio 54 was a huge influence on 70s fashion, and this day dress you can see here as well Mary Quant painting the way women wear mini skirts you can see it at all in Studio 54. Influences by Cher, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and many more.

📌 [BILLET] « Il pleut sur Nantes », chantait à tort Barbara.

Car le soleil rayonne dans la capitale de la Bretagne (historique) à chacune des éditions du Festival Nature Nomade qui se tient chaque année à l’automne au muséum de Nantes.

Cette édition 2023 a d’abord été pour moi un tourbillon d’émotions suite à 2 conférences que j’ai données en milieu carcéral. Ce contact avec un « public empêché » a été riche d’enseignements et de réflexions quant à bien entendu aux notions de liberté, d’exploration et d’évasion.

Je remercie chaleureusement Faustine et Benoit, les organisateurs d’avoir pensé à moi ainsi que Blandine P. de la ligue de l’enseignement pour son accompagnement sur le terrain.

Le samedi matin, j’ai ensuite raconté au grand public, face à un amphithéâtre plein, mon aventure et mon récit « L’échappée, une traversée de la France en diagonale et à vélo » paru aux éditions du Trésor (et toujours disponible en librairie)

Ce festival a été également l’occasion de belles rencontres.

Je suis heureux d’avoir ainsi pu croiser les chemins des gens de Lettres comme Clara Arnaud, David Wahl, Alexis Jenni, Cédric Gras, Michel Izard, Marie Détrée Hourrière, Daphné Buiron, Delphine Grouès et tant d’autres.

Mention spéciale à l’explorateur très Vernien Olivier Sauzereau, dont le voyage céleste depuis son jardin, va continuer de profondément me marquer.

Merci encore aux organisateurs du festival « Nature Nomade », un événement piloté avec maestria par Faustine, Benoît et (super) Valérie de LA GEOTHEQUE, ainsi que toute leur équipe de bénévoles.

Vivement l’année prochaine !

« Il pleut sur Nantes / Donne-moi la main / Le ciel de Nantes / Rend mon cœur chagrin / Un matin comme celui-là ».

La chanteuse Barbara a finalement raison.

Saperlipopette !

In what decade did fashion designer Mary Quant release her Ginger Group collection?

In 1963, Mary Quant launched her Ginger Group collection, which was mass-produced and available in 75 outlets across the UK. The name comes from a political term for a pressure group, using the term ginger as a verb meaning to “pep things up”. Whilst Quant’s clothing was already popular, she wanted to produce modern and edgy clothing for a wider clientele.

Quant’s inspiration for the first Ginger Group collection was American sportswear. Rather than all-in-one dresses, she designed items that could be paired together with different things, thus the wearer could mix their wardrobe up without exceeding their bank balance by buying several outfits. The name of the collection led to an unusual “ginger” colour palette, which involved a range of red and orange tones.

Barbara Mary Quant was born on 11th February 1930 in Blackheath, London. Her early life was marred by food and clothing rationings due to WWII, however, she was determined to become a fashion designer. Her parents, who studied at Cardiff University in order to earn first-class degrees and become teachers, were disappointed with their daughter’s ambitions and encouraged her to think about more conventional career choices for women. As a compromise, Quant attended Goldsmiths College to study illustration with the intention to train as an art teacher. College life introduced Quant to new and exciting people and prospects, resulting in an apprenticeship at 'Erik', a high-end Mayfair milliner.

Sketchbook Pages for the project ‘Pop-Up Shop’

On these pages I explored pop-up shops,I looked at ergonomics and locations as well as fashion designers like Mary Quant and Barbara Hulanicki to gain inspiration for my pop-up shop.

I included the front cover page where I sketched the ‘rynek’ other known as the old market buildings in Poland.

To gain even more inspiration for the style of shop i would like to design, I created perspective drawings of the shops local to me.

The Swinging Sixties

Mary Quant

One of the biggest impacts on modern fashion that started in the 1960s is the introduction of the mini skirt. Originally created by designer Mary Quant, the skirt fell six to seven inches above the knee. Often paired with tights and go-go boots, the mini skirt started a phenomenon that still exists today.

Since the late 1950s, Mary Quant has been creating and manufacturing her own line of clothing. She attended art school. She started her own retail store, "Bazaar," on the Kings Road in 1955 with the assistance of Plunkett-Greene and former lawyer Archie McNair, creating the "Chelsea look" and the "mod" era.

Raunak Lally. (2020). ‘Mary Quant’ exhibition celebrates designer behind Britain’s boldest trends. [Online]. standard.asl.org. Last Updated: 6 January 2020. Available at: https://standard.asl.org/13906/culture/mary-quant-exhibition-celebrates-designer-behind-britains-bol [Accessed 4 january 2023].

She was looking for unique and new clothes for "Bazaar," but she wasn't happy with the selection, so she made the decision that the store would have to stock its shelves with her own creations. The "London Look" came to be defined by knee-high, white, patent plastic, lace-up boots and tight, narrow ribbed sweaters with bright checks and stripes.

pasqualetarantinopiscitelli. (2015). MARY QUANT, SWINGING LONDON LOOK. [Online]. www.pasqualetarantinopiscitelli.com. Last Updated: 21 July 2015. Available at: https://www.pasqualetarantinopiscitelli.com/2015/07/21/mary-quant-swinging-london-look/ [Accessed 4 january 2023].

By 1963, her success had led Bazaar to build a second location in Knightsbridge. Later, she introduced the Ginger Group, a more affordable line created to appeal to a larger customer base.

Along with trendy fashion shows and window displays, she secured her reputation through the production of original clothing, sold in her boutique, with many fun and new clothes advertised in the window, appealing to many young women

Barbara Hulanicki (Biba)

In 1964, Barbara Hulanicki founded the first Biba store in a former pharmacy on Abingdon Road. It is the clothing brand that established Sixties fashion. Biba's affordable, fashion-forward clothes made it a favourite among icons like Marianne Faithfull and Twiggy, as well as rock stars, models, and students worldwide.

Hulanicki's talent for designing settings that complemented the romantic, sensuous allure of her garments was what brought the Biba boutiques together. Loud music, fashionable staff, dimly illuminated historical architecture, and disorganised changing rooms created a distinctive environment. Young working women could shop alongside models, singers, and TV stars since the clothing was affordable.

Biba established a model for the "lifestyle" strategy that would sustain British retail achievements in the 1980s and 1990s through a combination of mail order, distinctive branding, and an awareness of its customers' desires.

Prior to the brand's growth in the 1970s, when "large Biba" was introduced in its own department store, two additional boutiques in the Kensington neighbourhood were opened. The High Street Kensington store was one of the first significant lifestyle retailers in the UK, with seven storeys of space. It featured a food court, a furniture section, a book store, home goods, and menswear sections, and it quickly gained notoriety for its opulent, decadent ambiance and expensive décor that drew inspiration from Art Nouveau and Art Deco. (formerly praised as "the most beautiful store in the world" by The Sunday Times) The trademark, on the other hand, was transferred to a third party after the company collapsed in 1975 due to financial issues.

Hulanicki launched a scathing attack on House of Fraser's rendition of the Biba label in an interview with Retail Week sister publication Drapers, claiming that it did not adhere to the original Biba aesthetic and was "too expensive": She said, chuckling, when asked if the department store's updated version of Biba resembled the design of her first line, “No. It looks like House of Fraser. No Comment.”

Art and Fashion

"Poster dresses" by Harry Gordon were inexpensive, enjoyable, and interesting items. Paper dresses were worn just once or twice before being thrown out. As the craze gained popularity, paper dresses started to appeal to a larger demographic and gave low-income ladies the chance to buy affordable clothing that looked exquisite and expensive.

Throwaway clothing conjured us images of an automated, commoditized future where trends changed as quickly as light. Additionally, it highlighted the 1960s' casual sex appeal. Paper dresses were simple to cut to any length one dared, and their flimsy appearance added a significant amount of sensual cachet. The wearers of paper dresses had to be continuously on guard against lighted cigarettes, spilled cocktails, unexpected showers, and other hazards despite the fact that they were treated for fire and water resistance and surprisingly strong.

Pop Art developed into a distinct art movement as a result of the increasing interest in popular culture, thanks to artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Their humorous artwork frequently featured commonplace items like dollar notes, comic strips, and coke cans. Marilyn Monroe's face served as another example of a popular topic in pop art.

Thanks to artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, pop art developed from the public's rising interest in popular culture into a distinct art style.

Swinging Sixties

The sixties were seen as the most fashion conscious time in history. It was a time of change and diverse trends. people became more diverse and individual. There was everything from bold prints, bright colours to sophisticated and casual.

In the 60s, my nanny was a teenager and fashion changed a lot for her. For some of my research, i asked her to give me some information about what was and wasn't fashionable when she was growing up.

During the 60s, fashion for young people really changed. One of the many things to become fashionable was stiletto heels. More and more women started wearing these heels however, many dance halls banned them because of the mess they made of the dance floor.

Stocking and suspenders went out and Mini skirts and dresses came in big time. Being paired with tights meant the skirts were getting even shorter!

The trouser suit became a must have for many women. Having satin and lace ones for evening wear but also more professional ones for the office.

Trousers, jumpsuits and denim jeans became popular with everyone. My nanny and grandpa had matching red cord jeans.

Many people used to get in the bath with their denim jeans on so they would shrink to your shape. (I can't believe my nanny actually did this)

For nightwear, baby doll pyjamas were popular. This was a frilly top and shorts.

Men had high heeled shoes with pointed toes, most people called them winkle pickers.

Mary Quant

One of the biggest influences on modern fashion started in the 1960s was the mini skirt. Mary quant was the designer who originally created the mini skirt. She had been designing her own clothes since the 50s. She had opened her own affordable and accessible boutique called Bazaar in 1955.

Biba

Barbara Hulanicki

In 1964 Barbara Hulanicki opened her first Biba store. It was the fashion label that defined Sixties style. Her store was loved by rock stars, models, and students everywhere. She was a favourite with icons such as Murianne Faithful and Twiggy.

Her clothes were good value, students and working women could go into her store and shop with models and celebrities in the flesh. It allowed them to see what the icons of the sixties were wearing and what was trendy.
