Mix Go Go boots, mod mini dresses, Mary Quant, Space Age fashion, Beatlemania and Carnaby Street, and you get the fab British Invasion that took over 1960s clothing, music, and culture in the US.
The 1960s Youthquake
1964 should be declared the official beginning of the 1960s Youthquake. This was the year of the Beatles' invasion, Courrèges' go go boots, Mary Quant's mini skirts, and just about anything else that manufacturers could hype to the hordes of Baby Boomers, who had just stomped their feet and thrown a countrywide hissy fit... in an effort to demand hip, youthful, British-inspired fashion. Fortunately, designers saw dollar signs and gave them what they wanted.
