Youthquaker
Youthquaker ( English youthquake "youth quake ") were members of a fashion and youth movement centered in London in the 1960s. The expression was coined in 1965 by Diana Vreeland , editor-in-chief of American Vogue from 1962 to 1971 , and denotes members of a young, fashion-oriented audience who broke the boundaries of haute couture , which was perceived as boring, and in London boutiques on Carnaby Street and Chelsea's the corresponding and Appealing fashion found: mini skirts , jumpsuits , colorfully printed, also in shock colors , as well as old items from second-hand shops or from the flea market in any combination.
Models who exemplified this style and were therefore often seen on Vogue covers include Jean Shrimpton , Twiggy , Penelope Tree , Veruschka , and Edie Sedgwick .
As fashion designers, Mary Quant and Betsey Johnson are assigned to the Youthquake , as is the New York circle around Andy Warhol .
Youthquake was also a label and franchise for the Puritan Dress Company owned by Karl Rosen and Paul Young.
