SLIP INTO SILK


The Decollete Slipper

Evening's prophetic profile is cut out in a low tapering line that adds length to the leg, grace to the foot. The white slipper is set on a curved heel perfectly in balance with the elongated vamp.  By Evins in watered silk rippling with silvery Lurex.

Mat Mauve Silk import from Italy
Bracelet by Brania

Silhouettes in single streaks of cool color brightly accentuate the figure by mat bas-relief.

" This exceptionally unique photography begs the question to current popular fashion photographers, "have you explored your creativity in-studio without excessive accoutrements?"

BERNARD NEVILL


SUMMER EVENINGS

... to swirl into the dance, layers and layers of flounces on a brilliant flame colour dress of pleated nylon organza by Jean Allen



London Town                        Frank Usher





Polly Peck                                    Julian Rose




Bernard Nevill, one of Britain's most important textile designers, was the youngest student to attend London's St, Martin's College of Art shortly after turning fifteen.  Fashion illustrator, costume designer, interior decorator and professor in fashion and textile design, Nevill was a forerunner in the design of "Shabby chic." In 1960, Nevill was hired as consultant designer of textiles for Liberty London where he created prints that revitalized the traditional Liberty textiles. The prints he created strongly influenced the mod fashion designers of London during the sixties.
