| Place of origin |
In 1964 Alice Pollock opened her boutique, Quorum, on Radnor Walk, just off London's King's Road. A year later, Ossie Clark joined as designer, to create a highly successful partnership. In 1968, the business was sold to a wholesaler, Radley Fashions, who employed Rose Bradford to adapt Ossie Clark's unique designs for a wider market. This body-skimming shift, in fine sparkling nylon, is a rare example of a Rose Bradford for Quorum label.
