Raymond "Ossie" Clark was born in England in 1942. He became a major figure in the London Swinging Sixties scene and the fashion industry in that era as one of the most influential designers of the period. He was nicknamed Ossie after the town he was born in- Oswaldtwistle. He was making clothes for nieces, nephews and neighbourhood girls from an early age. He started studying architecture in school at 13, which he later said was invaluable to him in his fashion career. He attended art school in Manchester at 16 and because of the long commute, his mother gave him pills to help him stay awake, which was the start of his lifelong drugs problem. He began dating designer Celia Birtwell at this time. Clark obtained a first class honours degree from the Royal College of Art in 1965, where his degree show was a huge success and his style was defined by Hollywood glamour and pop art. The final line-up featured a dress with flashing lightbulbs down the front which was shown in every major newspaper and fashion publication the following day. He appeared in British Vogue that year and began selling his clothing at Woodlands 21 and Alice Pollock’s Quorum, where he designed for her label. Celia Birtwell then started designing the textiles for his clothing- one of fashion’s most famous collaborations. He began taking hard drugs with Alice and his personality reportedly started to change. The first full Ossie Clark collection was bought by the Henri Bendel department store in New York. His simple, elegant dresses were widely copied by the designers on Seventh Avenue. He was dubbed “The King of King’s Road”. He favoured free-flowing, sexy clothing that didn’t restrict movement. This type of clothing became very popular in the 70s. Clark’s greatest skill was his freehand scissorwork and ability to cut into fabric with masterful ease. Anyone who was anyone had an Ossie. While they proved great at drawing in the rich and famous, Alice and Ossie were less successful at managing business. They sold Quorum to UK fashion house Radley and the ‘Ossie Clark for Radley” collection was born and sold around the world. Clark presented his first fashion show in 1967 Keep reading⬇️

These 80s-style retro ‘Memphis design’ graphic print shirts are up for grabs. Memphis design was characterised by scattered brightly coloured shapes and lines. It typically combines circles and triangles with black and white graphic patterns such as polka dots and squiggly lines. It is the defining look of the 80s! Memphis design started with a gathering of architects and industrial designers in Milan, Italy in 1980, invited by Ettore Sottsass. They were all bored of the current state of design, defined by Modernism and Minimalism, and sought to form a new design collective to challenge the status quo. They named themselves the Memphis group after the Bob Dylan song ‘Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again’, which played itself on repeat during their first meeting. An exhibition followed in 1981 in which they showcased gaudy and colourful furniture made out of cheap materials and named after luxury hotels, in a parody of high class culture. It caused quite a stir in the design community and made its way over to general art, graphic design and fashion. It found a particular home in the US against the austere backdrop of the Reagan administration. The newly formed MTV adopted it for its logo. The spirit of Memphis Design was of joy and liberation, emphasized by explosive colour and geometry. The group disbanded in 1987 but the Memphis appeal continued into the 90s, as evidenced by the fashion and set design of Saved by the Bell. It is a look that is inexorably intertwined with its time period. #80sfashion #1980sfashion #80sstyle #memphisdesign #memphisgroup #ettoresottsass #80svintage #retroclothing

They were all bored of the current state of design, defined by Modernism and Minimalism, and sought to form a new design collective to challenge the status quo. They named themselves the Memphis group after the Bob Dylan song ‘Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again’, which played itself on repeat during their first meeting. An exhibition followed in 1981 in which they showcased gaudy and colourful furniture made out of cheap materials and named after luxury hotels, in a parody of high class culture. It caused quite a stir in the design community and made its way over to general art, graphic design and fashion. It found a particular home in the US against the austere backdrop of the Reagan administration. The newly formed MTV adopted it for its logo. The spirit of Memphis Design was of joy and liberation, emphasized by explosive colour and geometry. The group disbanded in 1987 but the Memphis appeal continued into the 90s, as evidenced by the fashion and set design of Saved by the Bell. It is a look that is inexorably intertwined with its time period. #80sfashion #1980sfashion #80sstyle #memphisdesign #memphisgroup #ettoresottsass #80svintage #retroclothing

Norma Kamali is an American fashion designer from New York City. After studying at the fashion institute of technology, Norma worked as a freelance fashion illustrator before opening her own boutique in 1969. Bette Midler and the New York Dolls were some her earliest fans. She became known for her use of parachute silk in her clothing and for adjustable garments by means of a drawstring. Her 1973 sleeping bag coat became a phenomena and is still in production today. The puffer coat has been a Winter staple ever since. For the 10th anniversary of the coat, Kamali invited anyone who owned one to turn up to Wall Street in 1983 where they were filmed a flash mob fashion video. She designed the bathing suit worn by Farrah Fawcett in the actress’ iconic 1976 poster, which is now in the Smithsonian museum. Kamali also played a prominent role in adapting exaggerated shoulder pads in casual clothing in the 1980s. She reached the peak of her fame in the early 80s with her sweats collection; casual garments done in sweatshirt fabric like rah-rah skirts. She received the COTY award in 1981. Carrie Bradshaw was seen wearing an updated version of Kamali’s 1970s classic multi-style jersey dress in the recent Sex and the City revival show, demonstrating the longevity and relevance of her early work. Her work is included in the Metropolitan museum of art and she has a plaque on the fashion walk of fame. To top off her achievements, she was awarded the CFDA Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016. We have a fantastic khaki wool jacket of hers available in the shop right now ✨ #normakamali #1990sfashion #1980sfashion #1970sfashion #farrahfawcett #americandesigners #femaledesigners #fashionhistory

Jumpsuits! A brief history of the garment we’re dubbing the dress’ cooler older sister. Studies have shown that jumpsuits are one of the best ways to turn a head and get a compliment! While we love dresses, there's just something so effortlessly cool about showing up to the party in a jumpsuit - especially one with wide legs that has the illusion of a dress because you get to do the reveal! The history of the jumpsuit goes as far back as the 1910s, when it was designed as a practical garment for parachuters. There were also boiler-suits/coveralls that were worn by men working with coal-fire burners. When women began working in factories during the First World War, they were allowed to wear jumpsuits as of 1915, and it would be adopted again by women working in munitions factories in the Second World War. The first iteration of the jumpsuit as a fashion garment came in the 1930s via Elsa Schiaparelli, who created wide leg one-pieces inspired by the parachuter's uniform. Vera Maxwell re-introduced it in the 1940s, although it was still considered a novelty item. Bonnie Cashin began designing evening-wear jumpsuits in the 1950s, but their popularity finally rose in the 1960s via Pauline Trigère's trendy iterations of the garment. The first jumpsuit to appear in a magazine was one by by Guy Laroche in Vogue's 1964 September Issue. The jumpsuit then took off with every big designer coming up with their versions. Superstars like Cher and Elvis donned them for performances, and Halston was dressing the Studio 54 set in his ethereal and disco jumpsuits. In the 80s, Geoffrey Beene declared the jumpsuit "the ballgown of the next century" and we can see why it has stuck around! We have a great selection in the Shopify and Etsy shops, with options for everyday practical wear and for the oomph factor on a night out! Swipe through to see a 1917 lithograph of a woman wearing her jumpsuit working in a factory, two jumpsuits by Elsa Schiaparelli, Guy Laroche’s jumpsuit debut in Vogue and Pauline Trigère’s advertisement! Link in bio to shop them all! . . . #vintage #fashionhistory #fashion #vintagefashion #vintagefashionhistory #vintagejumpsuit #curatedvintage

Jumpsuits! A brief history of the garment we’re dubbing the dress’ cooler older sister. Studies have shown that jumpsuits are one of the best ways to turn a head and get a compliment! While we love dresses, there's just something so effortlessly cool about showing up to the party in a jumpsuit - especially one with wide legs that has the illusion of a dress because you get to do the reveal! The history of the jumpsuit goes as far back as the 1910s, when it was designed as a practical garment for parachuters. There were also boiler-suits/coveralls that were worn by men working with coal-fire burners. When women began working in factories during the First World War, they were allowed to wear jumpsuits as of 1915, and it would be adopted again by women working in munitions factories in the Second World War. The first iteration of the jumpsuit as a fashion garment came in the 1930s via Elsa Schiaparelli, who created wide leg one-pieces inspired by the parachuter's uniform. Vera Maxwell re-introduced it in the 1940s, although it was still considered a novelty item. Bonnie Cashin began designing evening-wear jumpsuits in the 1950s, but their popularity finally rose in the 1960s via Pauline Trigère's trendy iterations of the garment.

Romeo Gigli is an Italian fashion designer described by the Los Angeles Times as single-handedly changing the course of fashion in the 1980s. He was born into a wealthy family and originally studied architecture. When his parents died, he dropped his studies and spent years travelling. He moved to New York in 1977, where he frequented Studio 54. He became noticed for his personal style and was asked to design a collection for the designer Piero Dimitri. Thereafter, he returned to Italy and worked as a design consultant. He launched his own business and debuted a 25 piece collection in 1985. It was bought by international retailers and he started to gain a strong reputation with romantic, anachronistic designs. He was also designing for Callaghan, where he replaced Gianni Versace as director. He caused a renaissance in elaborate beading, drapery and luxury fabrics. His hallmarks became asymmetry, shawl collars, dropped shoulders, narrow fitted trousers and tulip shaped skirts. He was the antithesis of 80s power dressing. Alexander McQueen became his assistant in 1989. Sadly, at the height of his success, he lost control of his business but continued to collaborate with other designers and brands. He designed his last collection for Callaghan in 1995 and wasn’t heard from for many years thereafter. His label and name continued on without him, passing from hand to hand throughout the years. He made somewhat of a comeback in 2012 with the Hong Kong retailer Joyce and Italian brand Eggs in 2018. He currently lives in Marrakech. We just listed a great pair of Callaghan by Gigli tapestry pants in our shop.
