To this day, I still can’t begin to understand the complexity of ’60s fashion.

The silhouettes of the clothes are pretty simple, to be sure. They’re nothing as tacky as the styles of the ’90s or as avant-garde as what we see on the runway these days. Still, you can bet that there is a cornucopia of bold prints and even bolder colors everywhere, which make this decade one of the most memorable ones in the history of fashion.

Lisa Perry is a New York City-based fashion designer known for her vibrant and playful designs that often draw inspiration from the mod movement and the art of the 1960s. In 1985, she married Richard Cayne Perry in Manhattan. He’s a wealthy American hedge fund manager.

Her work uses iconic themes and collaborations with artists to create a distinctive style that bridges fashion, children’s collections, home decor, and more. She has even extended her creative vision to design a book with Assouline and a branded home, showcasing her journey from fashion to home design as incredibly rewarding.

If there’s one thing that is to be said about the ’60s mod fashion, it’s that it’s never dull. From the big beehive hairstyle to the huge sunnies and from the eclectic geometric prints to color blocking, this era understands fun as no other era does.
