ossie clark quilted coat, 1965

here's another fabulous mix of patterns. but this time it's quilted which makes it even more inspiring.

working with his fabric designer wife celia birtwell, ossie clark was at the pinnacle of british fashion from the mid-1960s thru the mid-1970s. he's shown here with model chrissy shrimpton (mick jagger's girlfriend) in a david bailey photograph.

You are killing me with all this fashion Miss Cathy! I'm forwarding your blog address to Marc Jacobs and Bella Freud! They need to REALLY get into this!

Have you read Peter Schlesinger's book about this time period? Its so amazing!

I just love these 60's clothing pictures. That coat reminds me of the spaceship look that was popular then...
