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.

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.
