EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1961, showcases the timeless elegance and sophistication of British model Jean Shrimpton as she dons a chic and stylish outfit from Polly Peck. The dress, made of pale oatmeal wool, is a true masterpiece of the 1960s fashion scene. Its design features an inserted cummerbund of ocelot-printed kid, adding a playful and exotic touch to the otherwise understated ensemble. The shortened bolero and long, tight sleeves add a ladylike and smart element to the dress, while the slim skirt widens to a fluted hemline, creating a graceful and elegant silhouette. The hat, also made of ocelot-printed kid by Chez Elle, completes the look and adds an air of sophistication and glamour. The background of the photograph, adorned with several bottles of claret, adds to the fashion story's theme, which centers around wine. The use of claret bottles not only adds visual interest but also emphasizes the elegant and refined nature of the outfit. Jean Shrimpton, known for her iconic beauty and impeccable style, perfectly embodies the spirit of the 1960s fashion scene in this photograph. The pale oatmeal wool dress, with its unique combination of classic and exotic elements, is a true testament to the smart and stylish outfits of the era. This photograph is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of fashion and the iconic moments that defined the 1960s.
