EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the vibrant and eclectic world of Sixties fashion with this stunning photograph featuring two models showcasing exquisite kaftans from the era. On the left, a model gracefully poses in a white Grecian-style kaftan designed by Simon Ellis. The intricately braided silver detailing running down the front adds an air of sophistication, while the silver sequin sandals from Magli and gilt bangles from India Craft complete the look with a touch of glamour. On the right, another model exudes exotic allure in a black cotton kaftan from Thea Porter. The dress, lined in silk, boasts stunning silver embroidery in a Tree of Life design, evoking the rich cultural influences that shaped Sixties fashion. The kaftans, with their flowing silhouettes and intricate embellishments, were a popular choice for women seeking a stylish and comfortable alternative to traditional Western clothing. This photograph, taken in 1966, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the Sixties, a decade marked by its bold and innovative approach to women's clothing. The Arabian and Eastern-inspired designs, as well as the use of luxurious fabrics and intricate embroidery, continue to inspire fashion designers and enthusiasts alike, making these kaftans a timeless addition to any wardrobe.
