Tessa's Fashion Page

for dedicated followers of fashion

By Tessa Bailie

Suddenly there were fashions for our age group - previously we were either children or dressed exactly like our parents.  Boutiques popped up all over the place: specifically for us!

We couldn't wait for the latest fashions to arrive - ok,! so my coney fur coat was rabbit - I didn't care 'cause my hair was like Twiggy's.

Did you crochet your own clothes? Where did you buy your 'threads'? Did any men shop at Harry Fenton or was John Collier 'the window to watch'?

Who went to Grantham or Lincoln Drill Hall? Did you see the Faces at the Dungeon (or Boat) Club?

Why not post your own photos and memories?
