Ossie Clark... Is Back!

Raymond "Ossie" Clark  was an English fashion designer who was a major figure in the Swinging Sixties scene in London 
his brand was continued and is renown for its vintage inspired designs
Clark is compared to the 1960s fashion great Biba and influenced many other designers, including Yves Saint LaurentAnna Sui and Tom Ford



Manolo Blahniik said Ossie 'created an incredible magic with the body and achieved what fashion should do — produce desire.'
The brand is to be revived with the launch of a new Ossie Clark collection online and at Debenhams. The range will be called OSSIE CLARK LONDON and is set to be a range of brand new designs inspired by the man himself plus a limited run of unreleased vintage designs, and is available from the 21st of January.


Reviving Ossie’s statement prints, flattering drapery and fluidly feminine silhouettes, the collection is said to mix 'reverance with retro-glamour and a dash of radicalism.'

Personally, i'm not sure. i am worried that Debenhams will make Ossie Clark frumpy and will over simplify the brands iconic looks and hand painted beautiful designs.

What do you think?
