The '60s were defined by one of the world's largest cultural shifts. Mod fashion popularized unique silhouettes, bold haircuts, and bright clothing, while consumers started to experiment with their appearances more than ever before. As the vibrant Mod movement made room for endless beauty experimentation, a new generation of fashion icons emerged, and models were able to redefine the industry.
While some celebrity outfits from the '60s defined the era's style, fashion models became just as influential. Models even started to influence the music scene, not only through their on-again, off-again relationships with musicians, but also through their fashion choices, which changed the way singers dressed. The '60s were an exciting time for the beauty realm, and it was a golden age of the fashion model. As models became celebrities in their own right, they paved the way for the rise of the supermodel.
