The Streets

Jacques Esterel was the main focus on trends in the 1960s and the 1970s.  He took stylish street looks into a hate couture.  His 1965 collection for men included a plaid suit with a kilt and a salmon-colored nehru jacket in corduroy which would be worn over high yoked pants with zippers on front and back.  For women he created very exagerated  evening wear with a floor-length skirt and hooded evening cape of matching velour.
