Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell met in a Manchester coffee bar in 1959, moved to London soon after, and married in 1969. Together, they made some of the defining clothes of the era: Clark’s fluid, bias-cut dresses in crêpe and chiffon were cut from Birtwell’s botanical and geometric prints. Mick and Bianca Jagger, Marianne Faithfull, and Pattie Boyd wore their designs, and Quorum, their King’s Road boutique, became a fixture of Swinging London. When the couple divorced in 1974, their creative partnership ended. The following year, their friend David Hockney painted them in Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy, one of his best-known works. Now, with more than 120 garments on view, the Fashion and Textile Museum has staged the first major exhibition devoted to the pair. Highlights include Birtwell’s Ophelia wedding dress, made from chiffon printed with her Floating Daisy and Lollipop designs, as well as archival footage of fashion shows presented at the Royal Court Theatre and Chelsea Town Hall. —Elena Clavarino
