A Peek at the Boutique: Alice Pollock’s Circus
1970s, alice pollock, british boutique movement, harpers and queen, quorum, Tony McGee
I was always curious about what Alice Pollock got up to in her post-Quorum days. Now I know a little more, although of course this is the only reference to Circus I’ve ever seen.

Inspirational Interiors: Music in the black-out
1970s, interior design, Royston Fulljames, Tim Street-Porter, Vogue
Yvonne and Alan Harmon’s completely contemporay black flocked music room, lying extraordinarily at the heart of a traditional antique furnished house. The designer, Royston Fulljames, used new American speakers, Bang & Olufsen turntable. There are push button black blinds and lights to flash on dim, a round Keracolour television, flocked black too, and three big, comfortable, black leather chairs from Harrods. The Perspex sculpture with flashing lights, by S.P. White, from Presents of Sloane St; it’s all very much in tune.

Vintage Adverts: Jamaïque by Jourdan and Bourdin
1970s, charles jourdan, guy bourdin, Inspirational Images, shoes, Vintage Adverts, Vogue
Charles Jourdan advert photographed by Guy Bourdin.
Scanned by Miss Peelpants from Vogue, September 1974.
If you haven’t had the chance already, please make sure you get to see the Bourdin exhibition at Somerset House. It is a gorgeous, huge and perfectly curated insight into his talent. Apparently he submitted hundreds of photographs to Jourdan over the years and, whilst they are the bulk of the exhibition, it also barely scratches the surface of his output.

Seventies Knitwear Heaven
1970s, Inspirational Images, knitwear, Masa Yamauchi
This knitting pattern book is a bit of a mystery – undated and with little publishing information – but it appears to have been produced in Japan as a companion to a Brother knitting machine which uses ‘Cassettes’ to create the patterns (all of which are designed by Masa Yamauchi). It doesn’t get more perfectly early Seventies than this…

Television is a terrific stimulus to fashion. What Cathy McGowan wears on Ready, Steady, Go! may be in your High Street dress shop a matter of days later in a mass-produced copy. And John Steed’s immaculate Avenger image has played its part in the male peacock revolution. For our television issue here is an ‘outside broadcast’ collection of action clothes.
Produced by Prudence Glynn. Camera by John Beale.
