EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, the iconic British model Jean Shrimpton exudes an air of elegance and sophistication as she dons a chic ensemble designed by the renowned fashion designer Susan Small. The year was 1961, and the fashion world was being captivated by the emergence of the 1960s mod look. Shrimpton, with her distinctive pixie cut and piercing gaze, was at the forefront of this revolution. The outfit she wears in this image is a testament to Small's impeccable design sensibilities. The oyster white brocade dress, with its intricate floral patterns and subtle sheen, is a timeless piece that flatters Shrimpton's slender figure. The jacket, also in brocade, is trimmed with navy, red, and gold ribbons, adding a pop of color and texture to the monochromatic look. The gilt and pearl pin fastening the jacket is a luxurious finishing touch that elevates the overall effect. Small's design is a masterclass in the art of balancing classic and contemporary elements. The brocade fabric, a traditional choice for formalwear, is given a modern twist with the addition of bold ribbons and a playful pin. This fusion of old and new was a hallmark of the 1960s fashion scene, and Shrimpton's collaboration with Small was a perfect embodiment of this aesthetic. The photograph, taken against a plain backdrop, allows the outfit and Shrimpton's striking presence to take center stage. Her confident pose and piercing gaze add an allure that is both captivating and timeless. This image is not only a testament to the enduring influence of Susan Small's design, but also to Jean Shrimpton's status as a fashion icon of the 1960s.
