14 The Costume Designer Summer 2017
THE COSTUME DEPARTMENT
HISTORY OF DRESS
Mini Versus Maxi
It's the fashion standoff of the '60s!
In one corner, the MINI, sleek, sassy, somewhat daring.
In the other corner, the MAXI, enigmatic, embroidered,
entirely freeform.
Short vs. long.
Geometric vs. floral.
Mods vs. Hippies.
Carnaby Street vs. Haight-Ashbury.
Twiggy vs. Talitha Getty.
Emilio Pucci vs. Yvonne Porcella.
Who will win?
