EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Harrods in 1966, as depicted in this advertisement image. Two stylish figures, a woman in a tent coat and a man in a suit, exude an air of sophistication and elegance. The woman's tent coat, inspired by the designs of Marc Bohan, is a stunning creation in wool, featuring a dramatic hood and a voluminous silhouette. The man's suit, also in wool, boasts a sharp cut and a contrasting mandarin collar. Beneath the woman's hood, a tricorn hat with a reversible rever peeks out, adding an element of surprise and playfulness to her outfit. The man's suit, too, is accessorized with a tricorn hat, its contrasting color creating a striking visual effect against the wool fabric. The 1960s were a decade of innovation and experimentation in fashion, and this Harrods advertisement perfectly captures the essence of the era. The use of bold colors, dramatic silhouettes, and unexpected details like the reversible tricorn hats, were all hallmarks of the 1960s fashion scene. Marc Bohan, a renowned French fashion designer, was a major influence on the fashion industry during this period. His designs for Christian Dior were known for their feminine and elegant silhouettes, and the tent coat in this advertisement is a testament to his vision and creativity. This image is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when fashion was an art form, and Harrods was a destination for the most stylish and sophisticated shoppers. Whether you're a fashion historian, a collector of vintage advertising, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of classic fashion, this Harrods advertisement from 1966 is a must-have addition to your collection.
