Flashback to 60s-70s — Top 5 Looks from Catherine Deneuve

Retro never goes out of style. Every season, top fashion designers came  up with a piece or two that is dedicated to hip people in 60s and 70s. Even now, fifty years later, we adore classic cut suits from Jacky Kennedy, disco vibes from rock stars and their groupies, bohemian chic from hippie movement, and elegant attire of movie stars like Audrey Hupburn, Catherine Deneuve, Brigitte Bordeaux, Gina Lollobrigida. Do you want to add a bit of French chicness to your look? I came up with Top 5 retro styles from legendary French actress and fashion icon Catherine Deneuve.

1.  Lady in red – all shades of red make a statement. If you find a retro cut business suit in red, trust me it will be a winner. It will not only turn heads and make you stand out from an office crowd, it will stimulate your colleagues’ brains intellect and imagination as well. If you remember from my colour psychology posts, red is the colour that promotes creativity and productivity.

2. Retro chic – its easy to recreate this look. Accessorise yourself with a bow, coat or a jumper with fur, oversized eye shades or thick belt.

3. School girl classic – black dress and white collar, why not?

4. Glamorous with pearls – gold and silver are the colours of rock & roll. However, if you add pearls to your attire, it will create a stunning elegant look.

5. Casual in white – this colour is the official colour of fashion icons from 50s-60s. No other colour would make you look so soft, so feminine and so strong at the same time.
