1960s Ossie Clark Couture Lamborghini Suit

A fantastic vintage 1960s two-piece by Ossie Clark, 1968. Featuring a 'Lamborghini' jacket in ivory, with a high collar, long sleeves and asymmetric button line. The beautiful form-fitting tailoring reflects the designer's skill as a precision cutter. The loose-fitting trousers feature a floral print by Celia Birtwell and bring a striking yet feminine edge to this outfit.

Ossie Clark started making clothes from the age of ten, and following his graduation from the Royal College of Art in 1965, his graduation collection appeared in British Vogue. Clark shot to fame and his designs were seen on the stars of the day including Mick and Bianca Jagger, Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton and Penelope Tree. It was at University that he met his future wife, Celia Birtwell. Their collaborations combined Clark's feminine silhouettes with Birtwell's textiles inspired by the natural world.
