Endlessly innovative, Ossie Clark brought street style to London's most fashionable people. A 'master cutter', he was also a celebrity in his own right, numbering among his friends David Hockney, Patrick Proctor, Mick and Bianca Jagger, Patti Boyd and George Harrison. His collaboration with his wife, the textile designer Celia Birtwell, saw the blossoming of a new young and exciting era for British fashion.

Ossie Clark,

This review is from: Ossie Clark 1965-1974 (Paperback)
Very informative, if a bit gushing. Basically just a history of Ozzie, and a little bit about the clothes. Nice slick paper, and some nice photos, but I wish it had more. Considering this was accompaning a retrospective of his work at the V&A Museum, I was expecting more pictures of his work, more drawings, and maybe some schematics of the actual designs. What you actually get is a few photos of his clothes on manequins, a few photos from magazine shoots (which never really show the clothes well) and a few photos of Ozzie through the years. There are a few drawings of his and a few of Celia's, and that's it. It just makes you hungry for more, but there isn't any more. This is the only book available.

A marvellous book for any and all who revere 60s-70s fashion.You've seen the copycat versions for years; now see an original designer who tied rock and underground culture to clothing. The subtly body conscious cut, the wonderful prints, these clothes have it all. Expensive, but your fashion library deserves it. My only criticism? Too too short!
