Fashion - Beachwear: A golden chance to shine on the beach

Fashion - Beachwear: A golden chance to shine on the beach. Model Cherie is a shining example to every woman who hopes to catch the men's eyes a holiday beach this summer. She is wearing Marks and Spencer's latest style to match those shimmering sands...the metallic gold swimsuit. As you can see, it's got the lot - the modern high cut on the leg and plunging backline, together with traditional frills and a giant Fergie-type bow perched cheekily behind: All that glitters isn't gold of course. The new look from Marks and Spencer's is a mixture of 80 per cent nylon and 20 per cent Lycra, so this is a bathing suit that can get wet, too. January 1987 P017338

Fashion - Blouses: Identikids!. This year there's been one silhouette

Fashion - Blouses: Identikids!. This year there's been one silhouette: a top heavy tube. One set of colours: black, white with flourescents. And one fabric: cotton sweatshirting worn with rubber and plastic accessories. This is the fashion that has mattered to people under 25, the only ones who understand how this look is organised and worn. Together with the Buzz Crop hairdo, it's a look which has travelled the world in a very short time. Tube....Mini at £12, singlet £11 Ms Selfridge. July 1984 P017390

Jimmy Eatten, who hopes to join British boxing's growing army of European champions

Jimmy Eatten, who hopes to join British boxing's growing army of European champions, was handed a grim "It will be tough" warning. It came loss than twenty four hours after middle-weight Alan Minter had retained his European crown by hammering Frenchman Gratien Tonna into a sixth round retirement at Wembley. The warning came from another Frenchman Gilbert Cohen, who meets East Endor Batton in a £15, 000 battle for the vacant European light middleweight title at Wembley's Conference centre on November 21.
