Ossie Clark's fashion shows were more of a "spring dance than show", proclaimed Vogue. In 1968, the Beatles were in the audience at Ossie's show to support George's wife Pattie.Pattie Boyd was a star of Ossie Clark's first show at Chelsea Town Hall in 1971, when the girls - including Marianne Faithfull and Amanda Lear - danced on the catwalk (in Manolo Blahnik's first-ever shoes). Pattie said: "One of my outfits, was a long, strapless chiffon gown that barely covered my nipples - I was terrified they might pop out and cause a row with George." It's a moment that has gone down in fashion history as one of the most important shows ever.

i had always read about that daring dress, but had never seen it! your blog rocks.
I love your blog so much! I'm totally adicted to it. Its amazing how much vintage photgraphs you have. I was wondering if you had any of Kurt Cobain? I know you are much more into the sixties and seventies decades, but it's so hard to find any pictures of him!
Peace!
