How Wigan & Leigh Celebrated 60's Fashion Era

1960’s was a revolutionary decade in the Fashion Industry. A lot of styles were born during this era. From Mary Quant’s Mini Skirt to Andre Courreges’s Space Look ! Successful fashion experiments are what had made this period. Wigan & Leigh College in India celebrated this epoch in fashion in its own way.

Students were briefed on the assignment and had to compile a research paper, along with sketches of garment. Diverse trends were explored such as the mini dresses, kitten heeled pumps and the vinyl clothing. All were accepted by the varied members of the society. The infamous Bikini too made its first appearance in the era.

Major trends included psychedelic prints consisting of mismatched patterns in the most vibrant colors. Keeping this in mind, the WLCI College Students in Mumbai came up with these designs. As one can observe the essential theme of the 1960’s has been captured but it has a modern feel to it. Observing the cuts and styles of current day and age, this project reveals a perfect blend of “Then & Now”.

WLCI College India is known to engage the students in multiple assignments to explore the vast aspects of an industry. This is so because the founder members of the institute firmly believed in allowing the student to find their calling. If one does not explore, they can never find themselves !
