Breathtaking 1972 Ossie Clark creation in the most gorgeous Celia Birtwell floral prints. 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 dresses. This colorful semi sheer silk-chiffon and black moss-crepe beauty is a perfect example of his talent. The garment is a flattering low-cut plunge belted caftan tea-length silhouette. I love the chic nehru collar and wide bell-sleeves. Ossie Clark's designs, especially those made in Celia Birtwell's prints, 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.
