London Life front cover with Paris fashions

Front cover of the impossibly groovy London Life magazine which ran for just two years between 1965 and 1966 but chronicled the life and times of swinging sixties London, showing two bright geometric dresses with matching head scarves or turbans from the Paris collections of that year. Designer unattributed but possibly Pierre Cardin?
