Papillon

1980s, Chapple Hamlin-Wright, harpers and queen, Hawker & Walker, Inspirational Images, Papillon, Vintage Adverts

A hint of Kimono – with long flowing sleeves sweeping to a point and a matching waist band. Around the shoulders a beautiful flowing gossamer echarpe with a stunning hand printed Japanese figurine recalling the eastern promise. Dress exclusively designed by Hawker & Walker, hand stitched -with pearl beading neck line – using exclusively hand printed silk designed by Chapple Hamlin-Wright.

Hawker & Walker, Chapple Hamlin-Wright and Papillon are all new names on me and only Hamlin-Wright has showed up any trace on my initial searches. So do get in touch if you know any more!

Want to up your image? Then go for Miners Posh Look. You can play it from the slightly hoity-toity to the complete lah-de-dah. With two Eye Kits (called Snobs!) at 33p. Nail polishes in five posh colours at 26p. And three posh lipsticks at 25p-push-up just 13p. Which all goes to prove that you don’t have to be rich to look posh.

Ib Jorgensen

1970s, fortnum and mason, harpers and queen, Ib Jorgensen, Vintage Adverts
“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.
