Op Art Clothing - 1966

Op art: n A school of abstract art characterized by the use of geometric shapes and brilliant colors to create optical illusions.

These clothes are all from 1966, when Mod op art was all the rage. Bright colors were bounced off of each other in bold graphic shapes. These dresses would have been worn with contrasting brightly colored tights.
