Fifty Looks That Changed the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s - three new books by Paula Reed are now on sale in the Design Museum Shop.

 

In Fifty Fashion Looks That Changed the 1950s, Reed examines the bombshell glamour of Marilyn Monroe in ‘How to Marry a Millionaire’ to Christian Dior’s New Look and Balenciaga’s double A-Line.

The 1960s book captures looks that defined a decade from Mary Quant’s miniskirts to denim-clad hippies and Celia Birtwell’s romantic peasants.

The 1970s book delves into the fashion looks of Bianca Jagger in Halston, Diane Von Furstenberg’s first wrap dress, the rise of punk and the influence of BIBA. Paula Reed details all the prominent looks of the decade and shows the influence the 70's has had on recent high street and catwalk fashion.

 

Fifty Fashion Looks That Changed the 1950’s, 1960s and 1970s are all available from the Design Museum Shop, priced at £12.99.
