EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant and daring world of 1960s tennis fashion. Teddy Tinling, a renowned designer, pushed boundaries with his creation of frilly panties that were worn by tennis players during this era. The image showcases a seated player wearing these iconic frills, paired perfectly with a navy banded white cardigan designed by Maxine Leighton. The photograph was featured in London Life, an incredibly groovy magazine that may have had a short lifespan but managed to capture the essence and spirit of swinging sixties London. This spread on tennis fashion not only highlights the evolution of sportswear but also reflects the cultural revolution taking place at that time. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, it is impossible not to be captivated by its allure. It offers us a glimpse into an era where boldness and self-expression reigned supreme. Behind the scenes at Wimbledon or any other court, these unconventional undergarments added an erotic touch to the game while simultaneously challenging societal norms. Mary Evans Prints Online has preserved this piece of history for us to admire and appreciate. It serves as a reminder that even within sports, fashion can make powerful statements and leave lasting impressions on our collective memory.
