Taken on the 4th of April 1980 by renowned photographer Paul Barkshire, this image transports us back to a time when creativity and imagination flourished. The exterior of the shop window is adorned with an array of vibrant costumes and props that instantly ignite our curiosity. It's as if we are peering into a world where fantasy and reality intertwine. This particular establishment holds significant historical value as it was once frequented by none other than The Beatles themselves. Intriguingly, in 1967, The Beatles sought inspiration from The Theatre-Zoo and borrowed costumes for their iconic Magical Mystery Tour EP/LP cover. This fascinating connection adds another layer of intrigue to this already mesmerizing photograph. Paul D. Barkshire skillfully captures the charm and allure emanating from this retail haven without delving into its commercial aspects. Instead, he focuses on preserving a moment frozen in time – one that encapsulates the artistic spirit that has long defined Covent Garden.
