Christopher Ward , Daily Mirror writer, and Fanny Brown, model, inside a magically flocked flat. Sweet dreams jet trail across the bedroom ceiling, the living-room has tall forest glade, fuzzy fruit marquetry, low mirror pond, a mossy green bank to hold stereo and grow plastic mushrooms while you lean back and watch the painted dawn. All flocking by Stan Peskett.

Gauchos remain one of my favourite looks at the moment. Indeed, I am wearing a pair of tweed Chelsea Girl gauchos as I write this. It’s one of those looks which will, inevitably, make a comeback, and I will be tiresomely reminding people that ‘I was doing it ages ago!’. As it is, I am just continuing to enjoy wearing them, enjoying the curiousity and comments, and educating people to call them ‘gauchos’ rather than ‘culottes’. Then I will just have to move onto knickerbockers…

“Is it so shameless”, she murmered, “to be so sure of something so expensive?”

The Duchess of Windsor has been the epitome of elegance for thousands of people, as she manages to combine originality and chic in such a feminine way. With her faultless dress sense in mind, Barbara Hulanicki of Biba designed some of these outfits exclusively for 19, keeping the theme black and white as that most associated with the elegance of the ‘Thirties. We take you back, in affectionate nostalgia, to the days of tea at the Ritz, when immaculately dressed ladies and gentlemen listened to a string orchestra, while nibbling cucmber sandwiches and sipping China tea.
