EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Robin Steadman, a renowned hair stylist at The House of Leonard in Grosvenor Street, London, exudes an air of dapper sophistication in a beautifully tailored tweed jacket. The year is 1966, and Robin's impeccable attire is a prime example of the peacock style that was all the rage among fashionable chaps during the 1960s. The jacket, made to measure at John Stephen Custom Built Clothes in the trendy Carnaby Street, boasts an Edwardian-inspired design with its double-breasted silhouette, peak lapels, and slim fit. Robin's sartorial choice reflects the swinging sixties' ethos of self-expression and individuality, as men embraced bold colors, patterns, and fabrics to stand out from the crowd. Robin's dandyish appearance is further accentuated by the contrasting white collar and cuffs, adding a touch of elegance and refinement to his look. The tweed fabric, with its rich texture and timeless appeal, adds an element of sophistication and durability to the jacket. As a hair stylist, Robin was no stranger to the world of fashion and trends. His personal style was a reflection of his creative flair and his ability to keep up with the ever-evolving fashion scene. This photograph captures a moment in time when Robin embodied the essence of the 1960s peacock style, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. This photograph, taken in 1966, is a testament to the enduring appeal of tailored clothing and the importance of self-expression in fashion. Robin Steadman's dandyish attire continues to inspire and captivate, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of men's fashion during the 1960s.
