Preview Spring 2006 fashion on the pages of Harper's Bazaar and Vogue and you'll be instantly catapulted back into the ethereal world of Ossie Clark—a world that was considered innovative and even shocking, to many of the more traditional fashion houses of the day.
The Manhattan Vintage Clothing & Antique Textile Sale's salute to Ossie Clark will contain items from the collection of Mark & Cleo Butterfield of C20 Vintage Fashion in London. Many of the garments they will be bringing were recently exhibited in an Ossie Clark retrospective at London's prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum.
While specializing in Ossie Clark creations, the Butterfield's also carry fashion from top designer names of the 50s-80s “British Boutique Movement,” including Thea Porter, Biba, Mary Quant, Bill Gib, Sandra Rhodes, Jeff Banks, Galliano and Vivienne Westwood. These designers will be well-represented in the upcoming sale.
With the popularity of all things “70s,” The Manhattan Vintage Clothing & Antique Textile Sale will “pull out all the stops.” Accessories—from designer handbags and belts, to platform shoes, pumps and boots – will be a major part of the event. Along with additional Ossie Clark gowns and other designer name fashions, showgoers will find such key 70s looks as the Bohemian peasant blouse and gypsy skirt, wild-at-heart animal prints and tough, chic well-worn bell-bottom jeans.
Hours are Friday, February 3 from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm; Saturday, February 4, 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. Admission is $20. The Metropolitan Pavilion is located at 125 W. 18th Street, between 6th and 7th avenues in Manhattan.
