The New Vamp 1968

If you are old enough to remember bright red lipstick, then you are to old to wear it, according to most beauty experts. They claim it is too aging, too period-piece, rather like the campy trivia of the '30s which are shown at left. For teen-agers like Jane Hitchcock (above), however, crimson lips and nails are a whole new discovery, either in combination with a bonnie beret for a nostalgic bow, or for a swinging accent to a thoroughly late '60s costume.




Jane, 15, updates lipstick and nail polish with a fuzzy hippie hairdo by Kenneth, a mini-smock (Gayle Kirkpatrick, $70) and "monster" thong sandals by Bernardo. She does not wear pencilled brow and heavy eyeshadow of Jean Harlow, whose face decorates pillows behind her.

Native Funk & Flash - An Emerging Folk Art 1974

Very pleased to hear that Native Funk & Flash by Alexandra Jacopetti and Jerry Wainwright, which was first published in 1974, is soon to be available again. The book has been out of print for some time and had become quite the underground collectors item amongst 1960s and 70s counterculture enthusiasts, it's reputation growing steadily, particularly over the past number of years as the occasional glimpse of the contents began to appear on the web and in various source books about these decades, which of course sent the price soaring upwards as it became increasingly difficult to find an original print copy. The book itself, is an amazing collection of contemporary folk art, mainly from the San Francisco Bay area, compiled by the author from her personal point of view and beautifully photographed by Jerry Wainwright. Not only is it inspirational as a visual source book, which would be beneficial to any fashion / textile designer or artist, but it is also an invaluable social document which defines the ethos of this incredibly creative period in American culture from within the epicentre of the scene. The newly revised edition with previously unseen photographs and updates on the artists is officially republished on the 5/7/2013.

A recent acquisition from 1967, some 'temporary tattoos' created by Societe Domain, Paris. A pure 60s pop gimmick, emulating the trend for decorative body art which was so popular throughout the Summer of Love, as clothing became shorter and more revealing. I haven't got around to using them yet, i've just scanned them as they are on the card,  i'm sure the detail would show up much better on the reverse. A brief history about the origins of the temporary tattoo can be found on the excellent Tattoo Archive website here.

Mr Freedom: Kensington Church Street 1971

A truly great article about Mr Freedom, originally published in the Look-In Fashion Model Annual, 1971. Comprising of seven pages, with several colour fashion photographs and another five in b&w which show both the interior and the exterior of the shop. It also includes an amazingly detailed text by Laurie Kuhrt which really captures the essence of what Mr Freedom and Tommy Roberts was about.  All of the clothes modelled by Frederika Elizabeth Mary Lambert-Laughton better known to her friends as 'Freddie' are from the Kensington Church Street branch of the boutique. The Diana Crawshaw baseball suit is of course instantly recognisable to anyone familiar with the label, although none of the individual designers were credited in the piece at the time I have been able to match a few of the other outfits to their creators thanks to Paul Gorman's book - Mr Freedom Tommy Roberts: British Design Hero which you can read about in one of my previous posts here, and the following is a brief extract from the Look-In article which gives a wonderful description of the shop.

"It's a remarkable shop. The price tags are cardboard fried eggs. Inside, a huge fly eight or nine feet long slowly flaps it's wings just above your head and further inside a chest-high model of a shoe looms large in metallic mauve. There's an armchair made to look like a huge set of false teeth and furniture the shape and colour of liquorice all-sorts. There are beautiful Mr Freedom-clad assistants and a wide-grinning Teddy boy called 'arold. Not to mention the clothes. Mr Freedom stocks an ever changing shopful of vivid, original fashions, each one more outrageous than the last and each quite different. There are fashions from the thirties and forties. There are drape jackets and blue suede shoes from the Teddy boy era, and shorts and sling back shoes fit for fifties film stars, enamel brooches, sneakers, platform shoes, sailor suits, and a whole host of incredible clothes that could have only come from the seventies. And all the time new ideas bring new clothes. Mr Freedom doesn't follow fashion, he leads".





Velvet shorts and woolly hooped socks by Pamela Motown matched with a T-shirt carrying the number 6.




                Yellow and blue suit worn with art deco belt and suede helmet with printed goggles.




                           Velvet Baseball suit in black with red trim designed by Diana Crawshaw.




                    Teal Satin coat with fur trimmed collar and cuffs, worn with red butcher boy cap.




Mr Freedom multi-coloured satin jockey cap designed by Diane Saunders, as worn by Mick Jagger during his performance of Brown Sugar on Top Of The Pops in march of 1971.

There's a really lovely autumnal feel to this advert from Singer, originally published in july of 1971..definitely one for the ardent sewing enthusiasts, makes me want to order yards of velvet and set about making capes and baker boy caps immediately!



Say "I love the whole world" by making whatever in the whole world you love! Sew great floppy newsboy pants and a ribbed shrunk sweater that'll just about give you a Cockney accent. Or thigh-high lederhosen, wrapped up in a swirling cape straight off the moors. A fashion zig-zag sewing machine by Singer says "sew-easy" in any language. On any fabric. Like these ribless corduroys and sweater knits by Singer. From our collection of Ethnic Fabrics. The cape is McCall's 2770; Lederhosen are Simplicity 9573; Knickers are McCall's 2502; the shrunk sweater is McCall's 2709.

Dandy Fashion: The Biba Men's Range 1969 - 1975

$

Now here's something that I would like to see more of - the Biba Men's range! Particularly the first collection which coincided with the opening of the Kensington High Street shop in September 1969, however only a mere two pages from the launch brochure designed by John McConnell which illustrated the range were featured in The Biba Experience by Alwyn W Turner and to date I haven't come across any other photographic evidence of Biba menswear in print or in any vintage auctions, apart from a pair of well worn and obviously much loved platform boots which sold on Ebay quite recently. The singular image displayed from the catalogue designed by McConnell does look very promising, but what I have read regarding it suggests otherwise, it would seem that although a bold attempt was made to establish the line, they ultimately failed to find an appropriate design ethos which could stand on par with the long established Biba women's wear label or to make a real impact upon the already highly developed and competitive men's fashion market in London.  Regardless of this, it continued onwards from the initial launch in 1969, moving from the mezzanine floor above the children's department in Kensington High Street to the third floor of Big Biba in the Derry & Tom's building in 1973. Along with the transitional move to it's own floor at the new premises came a change in the design concept, the original elements of the classic 60s dandy image were replaced with a more mature suave look which drew inspiration from 1930s and 1940s influences while maintaining a contemporary 70s feel.  There were traditional suits in the typical Biba spectrum of plum, coffee and black with undergarments in matching colours, all displayed in classic old-style wardrobes around the edges of the department, as well as Stetson hats, monocles, canes, cloaks, luggage and accessories...although I strongly suspect that the rock 'n' roll types of the day were probably still shopping in the girls section for t-shirts and whatever else took their fancy! The Men's Department was one of the first to be closed in march of 1975 after the property developers British Land had taken over the company but all in all, prior to this it had survived six years of retail, so it was obviously quite successful on some level up to this point. I do wish that I had more photographs from the range, but thankfully we still have the fantastic illustrations by Kasia Charko from the Big Biba Opening Day Newspaper which at least gives us an impression of what was on offer.

The Art Of The Affair 1969

September 2, 2013, 8:32 am
$

A six page feature by Donald Wiedenman, originally published in Queen, reminiscing about the lost art of the so called 'Proper Affaire' which had become almost obsolete in the new permissive 60s society. However, the customary etiquette appears to have involved, a weekend stay at the Ritz in London (booked in advance using a fictitious name), followed by several Badedas bubble-baths, the consumption of copious amounts of champagne, vodka martinis and Tia Maria's, shopping for trinkets and clothes in Bond Street (a Hermès scarf & Gucci bag for the lady, a heavily-beaded patchwork waistcoat from Mr Fish for the Gentleman) and a quick trip to the Kensington Antique market where they purchase matching pink crushed velvet trouser suits (which they apparently will never wear but still can't resist). Over the weekend, other pursuits involve browsing in the Gentleman's favourite salacious bookshop in Soho, a trip to see the musical Hair, some light gambling and later, fine dining and dancing at Annabel's in Berkeley Square..of course, all of this is topped off with the obligatory phone calls to their 'nearest and dearest' before the return back home on Monday, in spite of this, they do however manage to still find the time to fit in some more shopping for 'tokens of affection' for each other before they go their separate way....apart from the description of the visit to Mr Fish, personally speaking i'm far more taken with the fantastic illustrations by Graham Percy.



                                                            DOING IT IN STYLE


Without a doubt, there is only one hotel to stay in for a really old-fashioned, slightly camp Proper Affaire, and that is the Ritz. Amidst, mirrors, gilt, and fading elegance, the Ritz offers the best service, the most discreet staff, the biggest bathtubs, and the most intriguing atmosphere - you can still actually meet behind the aspidistra. The Savoy, sad to report, is too old-fashioned (even for an old-fashioned affaire) and Claridges is full of too many politicians, bodyguards, and curious clerks. The Dorchester is the second choice, but the lobby is unfortunately always full of famous people and hovering photographers, and if the Lady or Gentleman is married, this is to be avoided at all costs.




























It is still early and the small dance-floor is not yet crowded. The Gentleman asks the 'disc dolly' (a pretty girl named Hildey) to play something from Un Homme Et Une Femme, which she does. They go back to their seat's when the latest Rolling Stones single is played, because a Gentleman and a Lady do not dance to that kind of music.

'By Jean Muir' is the pay-off line for a clear and cogent fashion philosophy. Her clothes for day are clean-cut, simple; they're young for the young, youthful but not juvenile for a grown-up woman. For evening the Jean Muir look is extravagant and discreet at one in the same time.




Silk fringing - Three deep bands of it, round the trouser legs of an all-in-one suit, 62gns. In neatly- patterned chiffon, buttoned all down the front, shaped with an Empire seam. The matching stole, deeply fringed, is tied round the head. Jean Muir at Fortnum & Mason, Piccadilly, W1.




Small-print chiffon Jean Muir evening dress with two deep rows of silk fringe round the hem and on the long, long scarf. It buttons down the front, has long transparent sleeves with buttoned cuffs; £54 1s. 6d. Shiny flesh-coloured tights £1 15s. by Berkshire, also at Fortnum's. Brown crepe evening pumps, 5 gns, with brown tassels, £1 10s; at Bally, Kings Road, SW3.

                                                 EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

Valrie likes her brim pulled down. Karen flips for the tortoise chains on her jumper. Leslie pats the velvet collar on her mini-chesterfield. Philips can't get over her velvet vest and short-cut pants. Darby feels like a Kennedy in her hacking jacket. They all dig Wippetry - hats, bags and opaque tights. And everyone must have "The Sweater" in soft lambswool. Everything in 100% wool plaid or tortoise velveteen. From $14 for skirts to $40 for the mini-coat - at the important stores. Or write to Dept. T, Wippette Sportswear, 1407 Broadway, New York.
