1970s Fashion Horseracing Royal Ascot Style
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant fashion scene of June 1972 at Royal Ascot. The focal point of the image is the enigmatic Gertrude Shilling, who confidently dons a striking conical hat that defies convention and embraces individuality. As she stands among a sea of elegantly dressed women, Gertrude's audacious choice in headwear sets her apart from the crowd. This unique fashion statement showcases her fearless spirit and willingness to push boundaries. Her hat becomes an emblematic symbol of self-expression and creativity during an era known for its bold experimentation with style. The Royal Ascot event itself adds another layer of grandeur to this snapshot in time. Known as one of Britain's most prestigious horse racing events, it attracts high society figures and fashion enthusiasts alike. Against this backdrop, Gertrude's unconventional attire serves as a delightful contrast to more traditional sartorial choices seen throughout the day. This photograph captures not only a moment but also embodies an entire decade's worth of fashion evolution. It reminds us that clothing can be much more than mere fabric; it can be artistry, rebellion, and pure fun all rolled into one extraordinary ensemble. Thanks to Daily Mirror's impeccable documentation skills, we are fortunate enough to witness this remarkable display firsthand through their timeless prints from Memory Lane Prints collection
