• Twiggies and Hippies (1960s–70s) — Protest and revolution, The Beatles, Twiggy, Warhol, psychedelics, flower children, and women's libbers
• The Jetsetter (1980s–90s) — The Me Generation, the cult of fitness and perfection, supermodels and super career women
• The Fashionista (1990s–2000s) — The massive influence of entertainers, sports figures, and the rich and famous
