| Gallery label | The vogue for brightly coloured, patterned shirts provided an opportunity for men with adventurous tastes to make bold fashion statements. Cockwell & Johnson used Liberty's Tana Lawn (designed by William Haynes Dorell); Deborah Clare exploited Art Deco revival styles and Liberty utilised colourful paisleys. In addition to regular cotton and silk, flimsy chiffon shirts, with stiffened collars and cuffs, were fashionable in the late 1960s and early 1970s.(1997) |
