French Fashion Goes Pop: 1960s Style and the Yé-Yé Singers

Although 1960s fashion is often thought to have been dominated primarily by English trends, the yé-yé singers set the tone of the youth-oriented, pop-music scene in France. The yé-yé style was led by Françoise Hardy and Sylvie Vartan—two of the most beautiful and captivating singers of their time. Part of a larger group of fashion-forward teenagers who had dubbed themselves Les Copains, these young women played a key role in developing a “juniors” style and a specifically French look.
