Satin trousers, matching jacket, 17gns by Ossie Clark from Quorum
Above is the notorious Lamborghini suit, most famously worn by Twiggy. I honestly love everything from this editorial. Except that the Lamborghini suit doesn’t suit me at all, and I am speaking from bitter experience there.

Prada much? Miuccia may set trends but she didn’t invent anything. Everything here is a là mode today… ^_^
I know. She’s been ripping off the British Boutique designers for most of her career… (see also Terry de Havilland rip-offs)
Ditto MissPeelpants.
OMG you’re so right about the Terry de Havilland rip offs! Just looked it up and my jaw dropped…
Gosh, they are! I own two pairs of Miu Miu Snakeskin platforms from their 2003/4 season and now I know where the idea came from! Stunned. Exact copies.
Can someone explain “dungarees”? In the U.S. it means “jeans” which doesn’t look to be the case here. Thanks!
Dungarees are often denim (see Dexy’s Midnight Runners in full on ‘Come on Eileen’ mode…) but can be any fabric, they are trousers with a pinafore tab at the front, attached by straps to the back. Hope this helps!
