FACT FILE: the British fashion scene

1960s

The 'swinging sixties' was a decade of social and political change, with an attitude of 'anything goes'. In London this was reflected in a fashion revolution which produced bold and innovative designs. One of the defining fashions of the 60s was the mini skirt, which was worn about 20 cm above the knee and was seen as a tool of social rebellion and freedom for young women. It was made popular by British designer Mary Quant, who named it after her favourite car! The Hippie movement later in the decade had a strong influence on the style of jeans: very flared or 'bell bottom' legs were popular, as were hipsters, which sat below the waist, on the hips.

1970s

Punk was the name given to an aggressive and anarchic movement in fashion and music which started in London in the mid-1970s. Punks' clothes and hair were designed to attract attention and shock people. Clothes from charity shops were cut up and reconstructed using safety pins and chains, jeans and leather trousers were deliberately torn, Doc Martens boots were worn with skirts and fishnet tights. Hair was spiked as high as possible by using soap, hair spray and even glue! Punks also put pins and studs in their noses, eyebrows and lips.

1980s

New romanticism appeared in the British music scene in the early 80s as a direct reaction against the harshness of the punk movement. Where punk protested about life in Britain's council estates, the New Romantics celebrated glamour. They created a colourful and dramatic look using frills and luxurious fabrics associated with historical periods. Men wore make-up, particularly blusher and mascara, and had large, bouffant hairstyles. Vivienne Westwood, one of Britain's most influential designers and involved in creating the punk style, went on to develop the 'pirate look' worn by New Romantic bands such as Adam & the Ants and Spandau Ballet.

1990s

The 90s will probably be remembered as the decade of 'anti-fashion'. People tended to dress down and wear casual, comfortable clothing, such as baggy jeans and sportswear. The tendency can be seen clearly in grunge fashion, popularised by fans of grunge music. The look was scruffy and featured worn-out jeans, flannel shirts and Converse sneakers or Doc Martens. Long straight hair was favoured after the extravagant styles of the 70s and 80s. Body decoration was also a significant trend of the decade, with people of all ages getting tattoos and piercings if they wanted to look 'cool'.

2000s

A decade of nostalgia? The fashion conscious looked back to previous decades for inspiration as pirate styles and fabrics from the 80s made a comeback, and designers created looks from a mixture of old and new. Low-rise jeans were in vogue again and were often teamed with a cropped top. Another popular look was 'boho-chic', which featured long 'pleasant' style skirts, cowboy boots and Ugg boots. An important designer of the period was Alexander McQueen, whose career had started in the 90s and whose controversial styles earned him the title 'the hooligan of British fashion'.

Ответ:

I really like Gosha Rubchinskiy because he makes cool streetwear. His style is very recognizable and popular among young people.

Мне очень нравится Гоша Рубчинский, потому что он создает крутую уличную одежду. Его стиль очень узнаваемый и популярен среди молодежи.

2 Насколько вы выражаете свою индивидуальность через одежду? Приведите примеры.

Ответ:

I express my personality through my clothes quite a bit. For example, I often wear T-shirts with my favourite bands or logos from video games. I also prefer comfortable clothes like hoodies and jeans because I value comfort most of all.

Я достаточно сильно выражаю свою индивидуальность через одежду. Например, я часто ношу футболки с моими любимыми музыкальными группами или логотипами из видеоигр. Я также предпочитаю удобную одежду, например, худи и джинсы, потому что больше всего ценю комфорт.

3 Придается ли моде слишком большое значение в наши дни? Знаете ли вы «жертв моды»?

Ответ:

Yes, I think fashion is given too much importance, especially because of social media. Everyone wants to have the latest sneakers or the most popular brand. I know a few people who I would call 'fashion victims'. They buy expensive clothes just because they are trendy, even if the clothes don't suit them at all.

Да, я думаю, что моде придается слишком большое значение, особенно из-за социальных сетей. Все хотят иметь самые новые кроссовки или самую популярную марку. Я знаю несколько человек, которых я бы назвал «жертвами моды». Они покупают дорогую одежду только потому, что она в тренде, даже если она им совсем не идет.
