EDITORS COMMENTS
April Olrich, the captivating actress and ballet dancer, is seen in this striking photograph from 1966, showcasing a bold and innovative fashion statement. Olrich, born in 1933, was known for her versatility in both film and dance, gracing the stages of renowned ballet companies and the silver screen with her grace and beauty. In this image, Olrich dons a real fishnet top layered over a body stocking, an audacious choice for the time. The top, with its intricate fishnet pattern, adds an alluring texture to her outfit, while the body stocking accentuates her lithe figure. Pairing her top with Jaeger denim hipsters, Olrich adds a touch of edginess with their distinctive tie sides. Soleless sandals, a popular trend in South Africa during the 1960s, complete her outfit. Barefoot and unconventional, these sandals add a raw, earthy element to her ensemble, further emphasizing her fearless approach to fashion. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Peter Akehurst, is a testament to Olrich's fearless fashion choices and her ability to embody the spirit of the swinging '60s. The image, published in London's Life Magazine, remains a captivating snapshot of a bygone era, showcasing Olrich's timeless beauty and her commitment to pushing the boundaries of fashion.
