Issey_Miyake_&_Makeup_in_the_1960s

Issey Miyake Freedom Issey Miyake believed in the relationship and the freedom between the body and the clothes. Some of his garments tended to be reffered to as “second skin”, ever since his first tattoo-garments. (Holborn, 2005) Life Force The designer would find inspiration from life, and color. In the show titled Fly with Issey Miyake visually illustrated “human movements, bodylines and muscle tones, the show evoked a sense of the ever-present life-force”. (Holborn, 1995. pg. 44) 80% Issey Miyake refers to his creations as being done 80%. “The remaining 20%, is left to the wearer”. This shows that the designer concentrates on people being a part of the garment. He focuses on the space between the person and the garment. (Werle, 2010) Constructible Clothes Constructible Clothes was a show in which Issey Miyake showed where the models would take of pieces and ‘deconstruct’ the outfits. “…they formed a unity that symbolically evoked the early phases of development of industrially-produced clothes.” (Sato, 1998. pg. 29) The Decade This decade is the decade where the cosmetics industry blossomed like in no other decade. “It was the market where most trends began, where new product formulations in cream and color cosmetics first appeared, and where pioneering advances in therapeutic toothpaste, anti dandruff shampoos, and much else happened.”. (Jones, 2010 pg. 151) 1. Film & Television In the 1950s, color film was invented. This created the need for clean skin with no imperfections. Thus, the makeup company Max Factor came up with the first foundation, at that time called Pan Cake. Hence, foundation became essential to every woman at that time. (Twarta, 2011). In addition, the british Miss World contest launched in 1951, aspiring women to try to look better. In addition, television also was used as a new way of advertising cosmetics. (Jones, 2010) 2. New Materials Titanium started to get added to makeup. This made the product appear much duller. This sparked a trend in pale shimmering lipstick and later on frosted nail varnishes. This also allowed the younger teens to be able to wear lipstick without it being too bright, and look unlike their mothers, who preferred a brighter red color at the time. (Twarta, 2011) 3. Mary Quant New range of makeup was introduced that was affordable, and easy to use because of the included informational leaflets. Mary Quants cosmetics ranges contained brushes, which were used to apply products like blush or eyeliner to achieve the “Twiggy’ look. Thomas, P. (2011) 4. Fashion Icons Influenced women to wear a lot of product on their eyes to create a darker, dramatic eye look. In addition to eyeliner, wome wore a lot of dark eye shadow. Furthermore, Twiggy and other fashion icons, such as Penelope Tree brought out the trend of pale lips. It is also worth mentioning that the Barbie doll was made around this time.
