While researching Ossie Clark I stumbled upon Vintage A Peel, an impressive British based online vintage store with Jean Muir, Biba, Mary Quant and Clark on their shelves.
I got sucked into the site until I had seen every image on it. Not only are their clothes for sale a visual treat (I actually gasped at times looking at them), but the rest of the site is not to be missed either.
There are a few great collages of style icons, stunning collection photos, wonderful already sold items to peruse, and a truly excellent “inspiring images” section.
The collection presented is not huge (though more items are available on ebay). You can tell they sort through to find the very best pieces. The emphasis is brilliant color, pattern and quirky British designers.
Here's to hoping the dollar doesn't continue to plunge us into a depression, because I really want to get my hands on some of these maxi dresses.
But what do you think?
