Extremely rare Ossie Clark for Radley pineapple deco print semi-sheer crepe chiffon dress dating back to the early 1970's. English fashion designer, Raymond Ossie Clark, was a leading light in the London swinging sixties fashion era and is now renowned for his romantic flowing gowns and seductive ensembles. Ossie Clark vintage clothing is rare, unique and highly collectible. This stunning Celia Birtwell black, red and ivory novelty print dress, from his iconic partnership with Radley, is a perfect example of his talent. The garment has an ultra flattering low plunge built-in sash waist. I love the chic black crepe nehru collar bodice and wide bell-sleeves. Ossie Clark’s designs are right in step with 21st-century style. His genius comes from his ability to borrow from the past but capture the spirit of the now, creating timeless designs with a strong sense of place. In Judith Watt’s book, Ossie Clark: 1965-1974, Anna Sui explains, "He dressed the woman we all wanted to be: the rock star’s girlfriend." So as long as there is rock, Clark’s look is one that won’t fall from style.
