Just wanted to show a little exert from the Vogue magazine I've just bought for my sister's birthday. It's going to be really hard letting go but I figured she'll let me borrow it - I hope! :) Here's a few images I wanted to share before it's put away. This set is particularly colourful and modelled here by the divine Jean Shrimpton.

Entitled: "Scheherazade '65: the legendary new prints". These are designed by Bernard Nevill, their inspiration ancient Turkish tiles and Persian carpets. Fabrics by Liberty. Enjoy!!!

Vogue January 1965

Yes indeed. :wub:

Don't know if you've seen this yet but I've just posted a link for Bernard Nevill, the fabric designer. See my original post above. :)
 
I *did* and I'm totally fascinated - I hadn't come across it before, but he sounds fantastic. I wonder how open Liberty are to accommodating researchers looking at their archives - I guess it could be problematic, given that they mine them commercially so much. But, hey, as long as one doesn't produce a swimsuit line off the back of it...?
 
On the other hand, I should probably steer clear. I might be struggling to furnish a new place soon, and walking into Liberty's might just make my head explode... I remember browsing beds there once with an older and more prosperous friend - strewth!
:money:

Thanks gals!

Just out of interest, all the hair styles in this piece are by Gerard Austen. I've not been able to find any information on him but presumably he was one of THE top stylists of the day. :)
