Ossie Clark
It’s been quite a while since I last posted about goodies over at Vintage-a-Peel. This blog has moved slightly away from its original intention as a communication and promotional tool for the website, which is fine by me because I genuinely love what it has become. Also, the Facebook page for Vintage-a-Peel, and Twitter, has become the fastest method for me to communicate with customers. But I realised that I’ve listed some incredible pieces recently which blog viewers might be interested in, and which they might have missed. So here they are; Biba, Ossie, John Bates, Fiorucci (incredibly rare late 1960s jeans), London Mob, Paraphernalia, Janice Wainwright, and that’s just the big names. Plenty more to be found over on that there website of mine…

1960s, fortnum and mason, Graham Smith, Harpers Bazaar, Inspirational Images, jean-loup sieff, ken scott, Russell & Bromley
1929: Days of the boater, the blazer and the beautiful young man. White was the rage. That year Harper’s Bazaar said, ‘White, of course, we always have with us.’ We still have. In Deauville and on the Cap d’Antibes, beach pajamas were the thing. Now trousers go everywhere. Ken Scott’s white crêpe trouser suit, single breasted over wide pants with turn-ups; to order at Fortnum & Mason. Graham Smith’s white buckled turban; £21 18s at Fortnum & Mason. White sandals; 8½ gns, Russell & Bromley.

Trouser suit by Slimma Group One, beret by Herbert Johnson, bag by Medway Bagagerie, gloves by Marks and Spencer, ‘Compact’ bicycle by Raleigh, cheque book by District Bank.
I simply could not resist that pun. No apologies. I feel almost nostalgic about cheques these days, even though they are [comparatively] a pain in the bum.

Mensday: What’s new in men’s fashion? by Michael Heath
1960s, austin reed, His Clothes, Honey Magazine, Jaeger, Mensday, menswear, Michael Heath, Raoul Men's Shop
What’s new in men’s fashion? What’s in it for them … and for us? Keep your boyfriend tuned in to Michael Heath’s fashion report
Indeed Mr Heath, ‘why pea?’ indeed… Personally I would dearly love to take my boyfriend along to Raoul Men’s Shop for a pair of brown cossack boots. And elephant cord trousers, why is elephant cord so maligned these days? The lack of these things in the world today is why life has become so dull and dreary.
