The miniskirt, the trouser suit (pantsuit), the bob hairstyle, eye makeup, the supermodel – so many fashion concepts we take for granted today owe their existence to the Sixties. It was an era when fashion advanced side-by-side with music and movies, breaking new ground as the world threw off the drab grayness of post-war life and put its gladrags on. Hemlines weren’t the only thing that was rising as the decade progressed. The interest of the mass media was piqued, and when Time magazine pinpointed the epicenter of the fashion revolution as Swinging London, all roads led to Carnaby Street. London-based models like The Shrimp, Twiggy, and Veruschka became overnight stars, blazing a trail for the supermodels of today and projecting the fashions of the time. Photographers and designers were now celebrities too, names like David Bailey, Patrick Lichfield, Mary Quant, and Ossie Clark making headlines as big as politicians and pop stars. This publication records the Sixties fashion revolution in words and most importantly, pictures, documenting the decade when haute couture and the high street met and married. What we wear and how we wear it has never been the same since.

Perhaps more so than any other decade, the sixties had the broadest impact on the twentieth-century Western world. Across society, culture and the arts, youth voices rose to prominence and had a significant influence on new trends. Mature polished elegance was replaced by young liveliness as the fashionable ideal. Although only the most daring young followers of fashion wore the tiny miniskirts and borderline-unwearable plastic and metal outfits publicised in the press, stylish and smart fashion was increasingly available to all, with an emphasis on self-expression. New style icons such as Twiggy combined girl-next-door looks with trendy, aspirational and accessible outfits, and popular culture heavily influenced mainstream fashion. This beautifully illustrated book offers a concise guide to changing styles across the decade.

An engrossing study of Leo Africanus and his famous book, which introduced Africa to European readers Al-Hasan al-Wazzan--born in Granada to a Muslim family that in 1492 went to Morocco, where he traveled extensively on behalf of the sultan of Fez--is known to historians as Leo Africanus, author of the first geography of Africa to be published in Europe (in 1550). He had been captured by Christian pirates in the Mediterranean and imprisoned by the pope, then released, baptized, and allowed a European life of scholarship as the Christian writer Giovanni Leone. In this fascinating new book, the distinguished historian Natalie Zemon Davis offers a virtuoso study of the fragmentary, partial, and often contradictory traces that al-Hasan al-Wazzan left behind him, and a superb interpretation of his extraordinary life and work. In Trickster Travels, Davis describes all the sectors of her hero's life in rich detail, scrutinizing the evidence of al-Hasan's movement between cultural worlds; the Islamic and Arab traditions, genres, and ideas available to him; and his adventures with Christians and Jews in a European community of learned men and powerful church leaders. In depicting the life of this adventurous border-crosser, Davis suggests the many ways cultural barriers are negotiated and diverging traditions are fused.
