Ossie Clark/Celia Birtwell Printed Chiffon Evening Gown and Cape, c. 1976. Image courtesy of Kerry Taylor Auctions.
Costumes aside, there are some serious designers represented in the lot. From Worth to McQueen, you’ll be able to find something to pine over. I was delighted to see this Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell evening gown with a cape. This power couple virtually created the fashion scene in England during the 1960s and 1970s. Celia designed textiles while Ossie made garments for famous clients including: the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Bianca Jagger.

There is a beautiful Madame Gres available. The Grecian draping is always perfection. In black, it’s timeless.
