Fashion - 1960s: The Heatwave harem look. Complete harem gear may have been the coolest
Fashion - 1960s: The Heatwave harem look. Complete harem gear may have been the coolest solution to Tuesdays 79 degrees, but this brown chiffon wrap, modelled by Pamela McCarthy, raised the temperature of sunbathers in Londons Hanover Square. It is called " Harem Beauty" and its Turkish designer, Madame Zuhal Yorgancioglu, hopes it will follow caftans and djellebas as the oriental fashion beloved of the jet-set. And jet-set they must be. This slip of chiffon costs £ 85. May 1969 P017544

Designed by the talented Turkish designer Madame Zuhal Yorgancioglu, this complete harem gear was undoubtedly the coolest solution to combat Tuesday's soaring temperatures. With its flowing silhouette and intricate details, it became an instant favorite among fashion-forward individuals seeking an oriental twist on their wardrobe. Dubbed as a successor to caftans and djellebas, "Harem Beauty" aimed to capture the hearts of jet-setters who craved unique and exotic fashion choices.
