EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the swinging 1960s, Alice Pollock, the charismatic British fashion designer and retailer, poses confidently in a stunning green dress designed by Ossie Clark. The dress, a true masterpiece of the era, is adorned with intricate patterns and textures, created by Celia Birtwell, another renowned designer associated with Quorum, the iconic boutique that Pollock founded in London. Born in 1942, Alice Pollock revolutionized the fashion scene with her innovative approach to retail. Quorum, which opened its doors in 1964, was a trailblazing boutique that showcased the groundbreaking work of Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell, among other talented designers. The boutique quickly gained popularity, becoming a hub for the city's fashion-forward elite and an essential destination for those seeking the latest trends. Pollock's personal style, as seen in this photograph, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the 1960s. Her dress, a harmonious blend of two shades of green, is a testament to the bold and vibrant aesthetic that defined the era. The intricate patterns and flowing silhouette of the dress, designed by Ossie Clark and brought to life by Celia Birtwell's distinctive textiles, reflect the creativity and artistry that flourished during this time. As the owner of Quorum, Pollock played a pivotal role in fostering the careers of some of the most influential designers of the 1960s. Later, she even established the English Boy modelling agency in London, further cementing her impact on the fashion world. This photograph, taken in 1966, captures a moment in time when Alice Pollock embodied the spirit of innovation, creativity, and style that defined the swinging 60s.
