The Genius Designs of Ossie Clark

Renowned British designer Raymond "Ossie" Clark is most well-known for his influential period during London's inspiring and rebellious decade - the "Swinging Sixties." A  self pronounced "master cutter," Clark is famous for his timeless and incredibly flattering, free-flowing shapes.  Always the fashion explorer, Clark never shied from new silhouettes, textures or patterns. With his wife and muse, Celia Birtwell, who created his charming, colorful prints and textiles, Ossie Clark became more than a label. Much like the legendary BIBA, Ossie's fashion shows drew all of London's who's-who to attendance, bringing together creatives from music, fashion and art for what is better described as "happenings" than parties. Worn by stars of the day such as Marianne Faithfull, Twiggy, The Beatles, Elizabeth Taylor and Bianca Jagger, Ossie's dreamy, ethereal designs are still beloved by designers, models, celebrities and vintage-lovers alike.
