Youthquake (movement)

Youthquake (movement)

Youthquake was a 1960s fashion, musical and cultural movement. The term was coined by "Vogue's" editor-in-chief Diana Vreeland in 1963. London was the center of this movement. Teenagers dominated the fashion and music scene. The fashion of youthquake was fun, spirited and youthful – miniskirts and jumpsuits. Model Twiggy was the poster girl of the youthquakers, often on the cover of fashion magazines.

Mary Quant and Betsey Johnson were named as some of the fashion designers at the helm of the youthquake movement. Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick were also seen as part of the youthquake movement.
