EDITORS COMMENTS
Amanda Sturge, a bright and stylish young woman, graced the pages of London Life magazine in 1966 as part of a feature called "What People Are Wearing in Bri-Nylon." At the time, Amanda was in the midst of completing a secretarial course and had previously worked in various boutiques. However, it was her impeccable sense of fashion that truly set her apart. In this iconic photograph, Amanda is seen wearing a fabulous black and gold diced trouser suit by Bee Young. The suit, a perfect example of the swinging sixties style, exudes a cool and groovy vibe that was emblematic of the era. The diced pattern, a popular choice during the psychedelic era, adds a playful and eye-catching touch to the suit. The black and gold color combination is both timeless and sophisticated, making this suit a standout piece in Amanda's wardrobe. The high-waisted trousers and fitted blouse create an hourglass silhouette, accentuating Amanda's figure and adding to the overall allure of the outfit. The 1960s were a decade of innovation and experimentation in fashion, and Amanda's outfit is a testament to that. The trouser suit, which was once considered a radical departure from traditional women's clothing, had become a staple in many wardrobes by the mid-1960s. Amanda's bold and confident style, as captured in this photograph, encapsulates the spirit of the times. This photograph is not only a snapshot of Amanda's personal style, but also a valuable piece of fashion history. The black and gold diced trouser suit by Bee Young is a reminder of the groovy and swinging sixties, a time when fashion was a form of self-expression and a way to make a statement. Amanda's outfit continues to inspire and captivate, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of fashion.
