    Almost all the cars in Australia were British back then. I wore clothes like that in England in the mid sixties. Velvet jackets, satin shirts, loud ties. It was a great time to be a stylish young man or woman.

    I love how they deliberately went to the industrial wastelands of Sydney to parade the dandy clothing lol Surprisingly liberal minded men there though I would've thought they'd all have turned their noses down at it. Goes to show you cant judge books by covers.

      Just reflective of the time, even women were more sexist back then, it goes to show how the human brain will accept anything if it's cultivated from an early age, women now would consider these women traitors to the cause. @@bigtux11

    Very nice togs, although I think the cape looks better on the presenter, although the working class men's reaction isn't terrible, without the cameras there I'm not sure these male models would survive. Anything new causes a reaction, as the presenter pointed out about the mini skirt. Mind you nowadays they'd stand out as people are either mainly business or very casual. To me they look sharp not sissy, but I grew up in the 80s as a child with New Romanticism etc and mod revival so different generational outlook.
