'The Look' and How to Get ItSo many of our cultural influences in the 1960s
were coming out of Britain -- from Mary Quant to the Beatles to the
fashions of Carnaby Street -- that it isn't surprising that one of
the best books on '60s design is British publisher Phaidon's The
Sixties. The book is a remarkable overview of what Mary Quant
called "the look" in fashion, architecture, and home design. From
buzzy Op Art vases and inflatable furniture to spherical
televisions, the super-mod buildings of the Montreal Expo, and
fabrics inspired by hallucinogens, The Sixties has photos of
all the greatest hits of '60s design. Lesley Jackson's scholarly but
extremely readable prose ties it all together, bringing a dose of
context to a chaotic time.
