EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken in 1966, features the striking and fashionable British socialite, Faith Shuckburgh, donning an eau de Nil striped furnishing-velvet suit by Annacat. The photograph, captured by renowned photographer Peter Akehurst, exudes the essence of the Swinging Sixties in London. Faith Shuckburgh's outfit, a bold statement of the era's fashion trends, is a testament to the era's love for stripes. The eau de Nil striped furnishing-velvet suit, with its vertical stripes and rich texture, is a far cry from the conventional woolen suits or dresses of the time. The velvet fabric adds a luxurious and opulent touch, making it a standout piece in any wardrobe. The 1960s were a time of experimentation and rebellion in fashion, and Faith Shuckburgh embodies this spirit perfectly. Her outfit, while unconventional for the time, reflects the era's penchant for bold colors, unique textures, and unconventional silhouettes. The suit's high-waisted silhouette, paired with a fitted bodice and flared skirt, accentuates her figure and adds to the overall allure of the image. The photograph, published in magazines like Life, showcases the vibrant and dynamic fashion scene of London during the 1960s. It is a snapshot of a time when fashion was not just about functionality but also about self-expression and making a statement. This image of Faith Shuckburgh, wearing her eau de Nil striped furnishing-velvet suit by Annacat, is a reminder of the fashion revolution that took place during this era and the enduring influence it continues to have on contemporary fashion.
