Yes Bob we are following a pattern and knitting it together or so it seams

Re: Ossy Clark
 

Don't you mean....'Sew it seams '.....!!! Hope you all have a lovely Christmas...!

Re: Ossy Clark
 

So what's being said is "Because the thread is about fashion, making it a cut above the rest thereby following a pattern & knitting it together, or sew it seams meaning blanket coverage as opposed to a patchwork of chintzy dressings ?" Is this a stitch up ? :rolleyes: :D

Ace! That would be fab Garinda! Do it!

I have to smile to myself, because I have a make-up bag, which I only bought LAST Xmas, (from BOOTS the chemist) designed by his wife, still known as Celia Birtwell! He had met her whilst they were both students in Manchester.

Their names live on!

Re: Ossy Clark
 

Although he had a sad end, to what had been for a good few years a glittering career, his name will be forever recorded in the history of costume books.

Britain was the style capital of the world in the sixties. Ossie Clark kept that focus on the country well into the seventies.

Interesting article about attempts to revive the Ossie Clark label, and the fight to stop it happening, by his former wife Celia Birtwell, and the couples two sons Albert, and George.
