To any style conscious Londoner in the sixties just two places mattered: the King`s Road & Carnaby Street. By the end of the decade the whole world came to see & be seen, to take part in the theatre that played out of the new boutiques & onto the street. From the sleek modernist tailoring of ` Top Gear` & ` His Clothes` to the nostalgic dressing up box style of the World`s End boutiques, at the heart of it all were the young designers whose conviction to make & sell clothes on their own terms generated an explosion of talent which lasted & evolved over twenty years, leaving an indelible mark in fashion history. ` Boutique London` follows the journey of the first risk-takers like Mary Quant & John Stephen, to the celebrity salons of Ossie Clark, ` Mr Fish` & ` Granny Takes a Trip`, stopping along the way to include the weird & the wonderful, the glamorous & the bizarre. With in-depth profiles of over thirty retailers & lavish illustrations, the clothes, interiors & characters of ` Boutique London` are as diverse as they are colourful, vividly bringing to life a vanished London, which changed the way we shop forever. ...

In Seven Winters Elizabeth Bowen recalls with endearing candour her family & her Dublin childhood as seen through the eyes of a child who could not read till she was seven & who fed her imagination only on sights & sounds.
