abstract: "The work of Celia Birtwell and Ossie Clark: two English creatives whose short but very intense artistic and personal partnership gave rise to an unmistakable style that left its mark in London during the period between Mary Quant's miniskirt and the subversive punk movement of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood, from 1965 to 1974. For the first time a book has presented their work together, as Ossie's shapes and cuts would not have had the same impact without Celia's prints. Celia created wonderful prints inspired by nature and the different artistic currents that Ossie, with his skill in cutting and modelling, transformed into sensual and feminine clothes. Their iconic chiffon looks and fashion performances conquered the international jet-set and the music scene of the time. From Brigitte Bardot to Liz Taylor, up to Veruschka, everyone was fascinated by their fashion. Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, Marianne Faithfull, Anita Pallenberg, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Bianca Jagger and Marisa Berenson are just some of the people that Ossie Clark dressed.0This new publication -edited by Federico Poletti- is the result of an extensive research accomplished for the first Italian exhibition Mr&Mrs Clark. Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell. Fashion and Prints 1965-1974 organized by Prato Textile Museum & Fondazione Sozzani in Milan."-- Back cover.
