Max Clendinning’s carpet revolution. Furniture and lamp, from Christopher Strangeways’s shop, Kings Road — Jon Wealleans, Charles Dillon good design here too.
Max Clendinning, designer, has burnt his polystyrene sausage seating, is changing his totally white low-lying living-room into burnished gold and has changed his primary yellow studio into this new Indian red and richly carpeted affair. He has rediscovered tables, chairs and comfort, covering chairs in deep pile with velvet and lacquer paint, making unit, table, lamp and unifying it all with a mural. Originally inspired by the Islamic carpets at the Hayward, it changed course into something far more freewheeling.

Long turquoise satin dress, about 21 gns. White kid boots, 18 gns to order from The Chelsea Cobbler.
The setting is one of undefined menace. The situation, traumatic. The girl, intrigued. But the message of the fashion is crystal clear. Dramatic, beautifully made clothes are rare. When they combine fine fabrics with feminine shapes they become almost impossible to find. Now, at last, one designer, Leslie Poole, is making them. The supplies and outlets are limited – so far. The demand, however, is quite undeniable.
Scenario by Gerard Brach. Production by Molly Parkin.
