#5. LADY JANE Cream Knit Pierrot Collar Jumper 1970s

“The clothes were all made in small factories around London and once 200 of one item sold out, they moved on to the next. Fashion moved fast, and Moss and Fox seized on it. Mini-dresses, hot pants and thigh skimming mini-skirts were the order of the day, though Moss admits: “To be honest, we could sell anything. We even had a mini-dress made from a tablecloth which was a big hit.”

“[Sonia Rykiel] was founded in May 1968, during the student riots in Paris, when a young, flame-haired Parisienne named Sonia Rykiel opened a woman’s wear boutique on the Left Bank to sell saucy knitwear as a counterpoint to the era’s bourgeois tailoring. She designed a stylish-yet-comfortable uniform for working women — her signature was a striped pullover called the “poor boy” that was a favorite of the actresses Anouk Aimée and Audrey Hepburn — and Ms. Rykiel became known as the Queen of Knitwear. She staged shows in her Rue de Grenelle shop, reciting poetry as the models descended the staircase, and opened boutiques in the provinces, so women there could have access to her clothes.”
