EDITORS COMMENTS
The Front Cover of The Tatler, May 1962: A Celebration of London Fashion Week and the Glamour of the 1960s The May 1962 issue of The Tatler marked a significant moment in fashion history with its stunning front cover featuring three elegant models in colourful ballgowns against the iconic backdrop of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. This issue was a special tribute to London Fashion Week, showcasing the creativity and innovation of three prominent members of the Fashion House Group of London. In the foreground, a golden Sekers brocade ballgown designed by Frederick Starke captivates the eye with its intricate patterns and luxurious fabric. The middle model wears a gold satin strapless dress, designed by Susan Small, which adds a touch of sophistication and glamour to the scene. The third model, with her back turned to the camera, showcases a stunning orange corded silk and regal purple gown from Jean Allen, adding a pop of colour to the cover. The models' long evening gowns, designed exclusively for Tatler, were a testament to the creativity and talent of London's fashion industry during the 1960s. The carpeted floor of the historic location further emphasizes the elegance and glamour of the occasion. This iconic front cover perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the 1960s, a decade marked by innovation, creativity, and a renewed appreciation for fashion and glamour. The image of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben in the background adds a sense of history and tradition to the cover, making it a timeless representation of the fashion scene in London during this era.
