“Sugar Daddy” by Ib Jorgensen. The ultimate evening ensemble trimmed with fox, from Fortnum’s fashions.

Photographed in the foyer of the Hotel Inter-Continental London.

Obviously please ignore the fur element, I mainly wanted to share this because I love Ib Jorgensen and his work doesn’t turn up in magazines much. Born in Denmark, he became one of Ireland’s leading fashion designers from the 1950s until the 1990s. One of my favourite dresses hanging in my closet comes from a range he did for Mattli of London, but it’s interesting to know he was also stocked in Fortnum and Mason.

Not many of us can afford to don designer outfits, so achieving a totally different look can he a problem. But go and have another look in your man’s wardrobe. Maybe you haven’t quite exhausted it yet! He may have some garments stashed away that would be perfect for you! Mix the fabrics, colours and looks. Take half a suit and team it with something else. The result, as you can see here, can be smart, sharp and clean—and nobody will be able to accuse you of going to the dogs, fashionwise!

No need to look drab because you want to keep warm this winter. Here’s how to achieve that simple, but sexy, country-girl look and be snug, as well. Wear lots and lots of layers of clothes in prints and plains and add a frilly summer petticoat to give a touch of spice. It’s a fabulous way of wearing your summer clothes, too — and so save on your budget. Add a polo neck to a printed summer skirt and top the lot with a thin, plain pinny. See? It’s easy . . . it’s warm . . . and makes your whole wardrobe go a very long way . . .

The Six Jumps Ahead Look

1970s, crowthers, Frank Horvat, hair, Hair and make-up, Inspirational Images, Make-up, mr freedom, vanity fair
The six-jumps-ahead look (opposite) ; big Christmas talking-point for the folks and a very well-defined spell-out for the buzz (getting louder) that a lot of trendy heads will have short hair this spring. Not often this short, we guess, but when you’re a straw in the wind, you have to be visible. Now look at those eyebrows ; correction ; don’t because you can’t. Our model (Paris-based —which explains that neat little head) plucks them out every day. You don’t have to go this far— yet — but there’s no doubt whatever that brows should be thinner, paler and generally underplayed. Goodness knows what these tidings will do to Liz Taylor. Make-up ? Virtually none. Just super-clean, super-clear skin ; a little Geminesse Under Make-up moisturising tint (Apricot) which is totally transparent ; Max Factor’s Lip Gloss and a light dusting of freckles. The no-make-up look needn’t be quite this genuine; a lot of girls are achieving their version of it with foundation, gloss, blusher, powder—all of them transparent.
