The skirts started to reduce in length, culminating in the mini by 1965. Thus the quintessential girlie look of the 60's evolved. Slim line and tubular dresses gave way to flared skirts Fabulous clothing produced by designers such as Mary Quant and boutiques such as Biba and Miss Mouse, and celebrities like Twiggy, played major roles in promoting the new, more relaxed, and more colourful hot fashion trends of the 60's.

Fashionistas were crazy about platform shoes and maxi dresses. It was the rave! Platforms were chunky and sometimes looked and felt awkward, but were as hot as the 70's disco scene.

This era saw the emergence of fabulous clothing in the form of maxi dresses and skirts, and full length flowing gowns that was a great trend for a night out.

Sexy jeans went from the sporty, casual, or the ranch weekend wear, to a hot fashion trend that became a sexy and chic glamorous wardrobe must have.

Minimalism trend was the hot fashion trend in the 90's. This was  also referred to as 'less is more'.

Lycra played a prominent role during this fashion era, and designers offered sleek neutral look fashions. Other fabulous clothing trends such as hip-hop and Goth made a splash throughout the 1990's.
