Ossie Clark dresses

Kate Osborn of Kerry Taylor Auctions on why these 1970s frocks are collectable

‘Ossie Clark continues to be a popular designer at auction, and his most sought-a#er pieces are those with a Celia Birtwell print. It’s not uncommon for these dresses to have been bought and worn as wedding dresses in the 1970s – such as this one from our Passion for Fashion sale on 10th December. It’s beautiful and practical as it could be worn again!’
