"I'm Bruce Marshall here in Budapest, Hungary and now we are going to tell you how to dress like it is the 1960's. Here we have on our model, Kotta, a typical version of a short mini kind of what we would call a Go Go dress and what was really great about the 60's is that it had that wonderful hippy influence where it had that hand detail like crocheted and like really great elements like that, high boots, the whole nine yards and very dancable clothes. That is what was going on in the 60's and that is what is reflected here. So remember if you want to dress like it is the 60's for the girls you get your Go Go on, the high boots, the short dress. Now another element of the 60's that is not demonstrated here but you would also want to know like with Kotta, she has simple earrings here but in the 60's you had big hoops, big colorful earrings and also there were things like the beads, there were a lot of beads being used and also you can't imagine how they used to use a lot of feathers in the earrings and even in the hair. So think about it when you are using colors in the 60's, go with the makeup, really bright, really fun, really colorful and then you are pretty much back in the 60's."
