Just stumbled upon your channel. When I left high school I was taken on as a junior trainee at Leonard’s salon in Mayfair. I remember Twiggy coming into the salon many times and I was assigned to shampoo her hair. She was lovely, not much older than I was, we used to have girly chats while washing her hair. Many other models and stars of the 60’s used to hang out at Leonard’s. I have many memories of that time working there.
I’m an american but grew up speaking german with my chinese father-who learned german as a student abroad. Your english is really great! I enjoy when you speak german too :) thank you for your informative videos! you are filling in a lot of holes in my knowledge of fashion herstory.
Dearest Emma, I lost my only child, my daughter at eight months. My whole heart goes out to you and your family. I know the indescribable pain. I promise you it gets much softer as time goes by. I loved your video so so much as I was a teenager when all the wonders were going on. Even in California we all wanted to look like "The Shrimp". My younger sister was very thin and tiny so she emulated Twiggy with the hair cut and style and looked like a little doll. I lived for the fashion magazines, the clothes, the bands especially. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Light and love to you.❤
I was born in the early 60's, and these are the models I knew and admired as a girl. It was nice to see some pictures and footage I've never seen before. My heart goes out to you, please take your time with making videos, we'll still be here.
This video is an excellent presentation of 60s modelling from everything I read and examined about it. Your research is very detailed and highly accurate. Thanks for your efforts.
I watched to the end, was very moved to hear such sad news. Great post, I was born 1960 and don't remember being aware of the Microsoft the time but discovered them in my teens. In 1987 Twiggy came into the boutique I was working in an I recall how she was taller than me. I'm 5 f2f 7" . She looked amazing, maybe as she was only 16 when first becoming famous she grew some more. You look just like the models of the day x
Thank you Emma Rosa. What a wonderful walk through seeing the top models of that era. Thank you for your fabulous talk and photos. I was 15 in 1966 and couldn't wait for the next edition US of fashion magazines like 'Mademoiselle' and 'Seventeen'- I would see 'Vogue' and 'Bazaar' at the hair salon. I loved the look of all the models especially Verushka who always had the most imaginative hair "styles"- they were works of art. These women were all originals and the likes of them will never been seen again. Sending good wishes to you from the UK 💞
I'm glad to have found you on youtube & to be a part of your online community 🙂I discovered your videos a while ago (and have subscribed of course!). The deep dive in clothes, music, and culture draws me in... what really sticks with me, though, is the way you paint the revolutionary free-spirited values of the '60s and '70s. And that's inspiring! We need more of that nowadays. Goodness those people could be brave! I now understand better why '60s and '70s counterculture was so important - and remains so! ❤
@@EmmaRosaKatharina Oh my dear, I just got to the end of your video and learned about the loss of your daughter. I'd like to give you a hug here through the net, is that ok ? 🫂
Very enjoyable video emma, iconic models with lasting cultural legacies, your voice sounded fine to me , i hope you are feeling better after feeling unwell.🌟🙌
Never comment on youtube, but i just wanted to say how much i enjoy your videos. The research is on point, the visual is too and you have such a soothing voice. I always look forward to your videos ❤ thought and prayers for your current situation
I am entirely new to your channel, and I am glad YT's algorithm suggested it. I subscribed at once. Your analysis presented in this upload is extensive and carefully considered. However, I have a suggestion: Before recording, be absolutely certain about the correct pronunciation of every name you mention. Example: photographer Diane Arbus' first name is pronounced "dee-ANN," not "die-ANN." Cecil Beaton's first name is pronounced "SE-sel," not "se-SEAL." Diana Vreeland's (whom you don't discuss enough, in my opinion --- without her, Twiggy and Penelope Tree wouldn't have enjoyed international fame and recognition. Ms. Vreeland absolutely MADE certain models, including Lauren Hutton, Lauren Bacall, Veruschka, and others) first name is pronounced "dee-ANN-a," not the usual "die-ANN-a." A minor point, but jarring to the ear for those of us who are familiar with the correct pronunciation of the names of personages who were influential in the amazing supermodel era of the mid- to late-1960's. I thank you for all the effort you put into this upload. Keep up the good work!
Another excellent video, well researched and informative. It would also be worth mentioning that Twiggy was, as far as I know, the first model to create her own line of clothing. Nice to see Jean Shrimpton, my favourite model, mentioned...truly iconic ! I look forward, as always, to your next delve into 60s and 70s culture. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Thank you for the flash back to the 60’s the days of my youth and the mini skirt. 😊What a fab job you did covering the models I used to idolize ..my heart goes out to you on the loss of your daughter.😔No words of wisdom just deep feelings. I have never seen your videos before, but I like your presentation and of course I had to subscribe……….🤗🇨🇦
@1hy_312 plastic surgery was happening way before the 60s..maybe not called plastic surgery but reconstructive surgery. A lot of the movie stars from the 40s and 50s were having work done to fit the beauty standard I don't know if these women mentioned here had work done but I wouldn't be surprised if they had something done
The 1960s were such a fun time in fashion. The model on the Vogue cover at 22:35 min is actually a Swiss model called Françoise Rubartelli. She is somewhat similar in type to Veruschka, and I've seen them get mixed up on several occasions. Her ex-husband, photographer Franco Rubartelli, was also the companion of Veruschka in the 1960s and worked with her on many of her photo shoots.
Dear Emma, I really enjoyed the video! Very well researched! Also, I love the Dusty Springfield record in the background! She's definitely one of my favourite 60s icons and lived quite a turbulent life. Maybe worth covering in another video or episode of the Dolls Podcast? 😉❤☮
Jean Shrimpton, Patty Boyd. and all the models with faces so gorgeous. How lucky to be born with such great genes. Were there ever models in the earliest days of modeling, maybe in the early 1900's, ever short? I know the face and figure had to be beautiful but do you know if the EARLIEST known models were ever 5' 1" or 5' 2" ? In other words, did height (lack of ) not a requirement in the earliest days of modeling? Ha, ha , just wondering, because I'm 5' 1" and never had the looks of a model but always wondered if VERY short women were ever models at the beginning days of modeling? Late 1800's , early 1900's?
Hi Emma, Just a correction Richard Avedon not Richard Avalon. One of the most important fashion photographers of the 20th century. Great presentation otherwise 😊
Hello! Wow, this video was interesting..so sorry. 😔 l'm a kid from the 1960s. I was born in 1957.. l love the 1960s as a kid the music was awesome !!!! l know twiggy was it! The fashion.. the hair. For me it was Diana Riggs, Dusty Springfield, The Supremes and The Ronnettes.. The British Invasion was everything!!!! The Beatles are king! American Bandstand, Hullabaloo, Shindig Shiveree, Hollywood Au go-go were the tv dance shows l was only 8 or 9 years old at that time... but l knew mostly everything! Sorry, Patty Boyd was my least favorite..l don't understand why all the bands were mooning over her. she wasn't all that! By the way, you do look like Marilee Rush!
I lived in the 60s and remember Shrimp and Twiggy. As a curvy but not overweight woman, Twiggy made my figure look out of style. Not good. Admired her look in a magazine but in real life a person would have to not eating for a long time to look like Twiggy. A personal note to the attractive presenter, your appearance is very 60s. clothes, and makeup is very reminiscent of Twiggy! Her hairstyle was not that attractive in my opinion only on her!
I didn’t like the switch from a feminine look to a Twiggy boyish look. There was no one at school or college when I was there who was that thin but it was the supposedly ideal look. Didn’t like her haircut either. 🙂
Please learn how to pronounce my of the names you mentioned. Its not Vittle Sassoon. I enjoyed your video. One name you left out was Nico. A legendary beauty
Please LEARN how to correctly Pronounce the Names of your Subjects! Cecil Beaton was a MAN! 'Cecille' is a woman's name! Vidal Sasson would cringe as how You pronounced HIS name!

Hi Emma! I hope you're doing well ❤ I would love it if you made a Jean Shrimpton makeup tutorial, thank you!!❤

And not one of them plastic surgery
You can testify to that ? 🥱
@@QuentinRolfe-bd2dquse ur brain, if u have one 🥱 plastic surgery wasn't common bcuz of the many risks since there wasnt a lot of research done on it

A name-check of some of the more sophisticated in-demand top UK models - Sandra Paul, Paulene Stone, Celia Hammond, Tanya Mallett, Grace Coddington
Jean Shrimpton, Patty Boyd. and all the models with faces so gorgeous. How lucky to be born with such great genes.

You do your homework Em,keep well.😊
You should have mentioned Cheryl Tiegs and Beverly Johnson when talking about the 60s
Hi Emma,
Just a correction Richard Avedon not Richard Avalon. One of the most important fashion photographers of the 20th century.
Great presentation otherwise 😊
Twiggy was inspired by Edie Sedgwick...
I love Twiggys short hair. It shows her cute face and petiteness. Would you get a pixie cut ?
Natasha Poly was like a 2000s Veruschka and Daria Werbowy was like a 2000s Jane Birkin.
Hello! Wow, this video was interesting..so sorry. 😔
l'm a kid from the 1960s. I was born in 1957.. l love the 1960s as a kid the music was awesome !!!!
