"Did you ever dream about a place you never really recall being to before? A place that maybe only exists in your imagination? Some place far away, half remembered when you wake up. When you were there, though, you knew the language. You knew your way around. That was the sixties.... No. It wasn't that either. It was just '66 and early '67. That's all there was....."

David Mlinaric in his Mr. Fish suit
Interior designer David Mlinaric (second from left) - Swinging London dandy and regular member of the Chelsea Set - wearing suit designed by Mr. Fish in 1968. Also in the photo: aristocrat Julian Ormsby - Gore (far left), his sister Jane and their chauffeur driven Rolls. Mlinaric later donated the suit to Victoria & Albert Museum, where it's on display in a fashion collection.
I've long enjoyed this photograph
ReplyDeleteThe fabric for the Mr. Fish suit was sourced from an upholstery company. That detail is online somewhere
And, of course, Jane and Julian were indulging in a spot of clothes swapping
Best,
