Boy London Revival

admin — Wed, 04 May 2011 16:15:21 +0000

Boy London is a name that will always be associated with Boy George but in fact it was a label born out of the 1980s that was much more than a Culture Club fad.

Stephane Raynor set up Boy London in the 1970s around the time Malcolm Maclaren and Vivienne Westwood were setting up there shop SEX in the Kings Road. These were times influenced by the Pink Rock scene in London's Kings Road and Stephane set up a stall selling Acme Attractions with John Krevine.

Run by DJ Don Letts this little stall attracted celebrities from Bob Marley to Boy George.

By 1976 The Boy London label was born and they opened there first shop on Kings Road selling Punk Rock clothing. Soon the 1980s rolled in and Boy London became a cool name in the high street as the cool new Romantic kids took the label as there own.

Stephanes friends took the label to new heights (Boy George, Steve Strange) hanging out at the Blitz Club and mixing there loud Boy London logo garments with there New Romantic makeup and hairstyles of the 1980s.

Jane Goldman’s Vivienne Westwood Kickass Dress

admin — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 11:29:56 +0000

How amazing does Jane look in this outstanding Vivienne Westwood dress! Only Jane Goldman could carry off this constructed pink spotty period creation. Amazing draping and construction and an astonishing colour. Well done Jane!!

So nice to see a real woman not a stick insect.

Why is it that we frown on women who take the time to look different to the norm... Surely that's what being a woman is all about .. I mean do you not want to stand out from the crowd or be noticed Jane is definitely a woman who likes to get herself noticed and does so in the most delightful way.

Zandra Rhodes At Marks & Spencers

admin — Thu, 14 May 2009 08:52:13 +0000

Zandra Rhodes spiral Butterfly print dress is a delightful and beautiful dress from the new Zandra Rhodes Collection at M&S, this amazing British designer has a perfect knowledge of colour and pattern and her unusual prints are unlike any other. Here at Clothes Junkie we adore Zandra she is the quintessential England Rose, quirky, original and totally wacky.

This new collection printed on silk gives you the unique Zandra Rhodes designs with the knowledge that it comes from M&S so the quality is great and the sizes too. Ranging from 10-18 and occasionally size 20 this wonderful collection is available for the average woman to buy. Unlike the Top Shop collection from a couple of years ago which came in smaller sizes and not with the refined quality we have come to expect at Marks and Spencers.

Stock levels seem to be reasonably high so unlike other fashion houses when adopting a designers work for their label, they seem to like low stock levels, like the collections from Barbra Hulanicki at Top Shop which is selling out fast.

Don't miss this collection it is feminine and so very English. View more Zandra Rhodes Vintage Clothing at Clothes Junkie.

Biba – Kensington Church Street W8

admin — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 11:39:24 +0000

A reveiw written in 1966 on the amazing Biba!

19-21 Kensington Church Street, W.8

'This is the most fantastic boutique in London, and no visitors to this capital city must forget a trip to BIBA. As you go in, to the throb of pop music, it has the appearance of an Aladdin's cave - rails, hatstands, huge Victorian polished furniture, the floor all piled high with beautiful exotic clothes of all descriptions. Attending this magnificent scene is a collection of lovely girls in the shortest skirts to be seen in London, and they are there to take your money ( steady, man).

Money is not something you discuss at BIBA actually because the prices are amazingly low. Dresses from 3 guineas (day) to 5 guineas ( long evening), berets 9/-, hats 19/6, trouser suits around £8 and so on. All clothes are exclusive to BIBA. which is really a pocket store; they make wigs to order, stock fabulous feathered boas, shoes,handbags and lingerie, and have hundreds of accessories in multi- coloured piles on Victorian dressing tables. The place is dark, spotlit, exciting and very modern....'

Mary Quant Biography 1955 -1967

admin — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 15:35:31 +0000

Mary Quant has always amongst others been acclaimed as one of designers to create with the mini-skirt look.

Despite having no formal training in business she opened her own boutique in the late 50s and her second shop which was opened in 1961. From her small empire in London she engineered the 'Chelsea Look.'

Mary designed such popular items of 1960's as tight, skinny rib sweaters in stripes and bold checks and knee high, white, patent plastic, lace up boots. Quant’s fashion shows and window displays were events or ‘happenings.’ She produced original clothing, that was sold in affordable prices, for a new youth-orientated market.

Mary Quant studied illustration at Goldsmith’s College and then took a job with a couture milliner, where she would spend three days stitching a hat for one customer. She came to the conclusion that fashion should not exist for the privileged few but for everyone, and especially for the young. "I had always wanted young people to have a fashion of their own, absolutely twentieth century fashion," she wrote in her autobiography.( Quant by Quant)

In 1955 she opened Bazaar on the Kings Road, one of the first Boutiques. Quant went out to find new and interesting clothes for Bazaar. In the first week the store took five times more than she had expected. As a buyer she was not satisfied with the range of clothes available and decided that the shop would have to be stocked with clothes made by herself.

She bought a sewing machine and set it up in her bedsitter, but soon expanded, moving to a larger bedsitter where she employed a few machinists. Her designs were a big success. Her best sellers included, small white plastic collars to brighten a black sweater or dress and black stretch stockings. She experimented with balloon style dresses and by mixing large spots and checks. In the early 60s she designed the first range of coordinates ever in England with items such as sleeveless dresses and neat little pinafore dresses that featured unusual colour combination's.

Bazaar became synonymous with the Chelsea set. "It had begun to dawn on us that by luck... by chance... perhaps even by mistake... we were on to a huge thing," she said "We were in at the beginning of a tremendous renaissance in fashion."

By 1961 a second Bazaar had opened in Knightsbridge and Quant decided to go wholesale, the only way to keep prices down to a level accessible to the mass market. By 1963 Quant was exporting to the USA. She went into mass-production to keep up with the demands of the US market and she launched the Ginger Group internationally. She was also presented with the Sunday Times International Award for ‘Jolting England out of it's Conventional Attitude towards clothes.’

As her popularity grew she created the micro-mini and the 'paint box' make-up of 1966. She also designed shiny, plastic raincoats and little, grey pinafore dresses then producing her own range of cosmetics. In 1966 Mary Quant received her OBE for her contribution to the fashion industry. She turned up at the Palace in a mini and cut away gloves. In 1967 she said "Good taste is death. Vulgarity is life." Her last fashion invention for the 60s were ‘Hot Pants' which were not a great hit but the name Mary Quant had hit the limelight and she had cemented her name in British fashion history.
