Crepe skirt and printed chiffon blouse both at Quorum. Pink patent shoes at Elliott. Tights from Bus Stop.
If you are prepared to forsake the mini this summer for the midi or maxi, you will find that designers have compensated for covering the legs by boldly slashing the skirts at the front, the back and the sides. Photographed at The Chelsea Drug Store.
This is a fascinating editorial for a few reasons. Firstly it is photographed at the legendary Chelsea Drug Store, showing off the incredible interior to perfection. It singularly fails to credit Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell with their garments for Quorum (an odd oversight given their fame at the time…). It is also a glorious insight into the mini/midi/maxi debate of 1970 and shows us the transition between late Sixties style and the early Seventies. The clothes are familiar as early Seventies, but the shoes are not yet platform and still stuck in a low block heel.

I love her curls. Tight bubbly curls like these and lots of waves should come back in style for women as it softens a lot of women’s faces and looks more feminine than stick straight hair on every single woman and it adds volume and some women look better in more voluminous hairstyles.
From the 90s onwards it became long, stick straight hair parted down the middle all the time or most of the time without taking into consideration the head and face shape and size and probably one’s facial features which makes absolutely no sense as we all look so different from one another.
The outfits in these pics are lovely too.
