About MeIllustrating the influence the art world had on fashion in the sixties, this sleeveless cord mini-dress employs an Op-Art checkerboard design to create a striking effect. The short, A-line style reflects the style that the young Twiggy embraced. Mini-dresses, worn with backcombed hair and thick, false eyelashes combined to create the look of the sixties.
