The new Ossie Clark look: They were a trademark of the 1970s - now back in fashion, the design guru’s maxis have been given a 2019 twist

• Founder of Primrose Park Anna Park, 54, has created Ossie Clark x Primrose Park. With their wide, floaty sleeves and long, swishy skirts, nothing captures the free-spirited, boho style of the late Sixties and early Seventies quite like an Ossie Clark dress.

• Sexy, feminine, romantic — the late designer really knew how to create a flattering silhouette on a woman.

  Those flowing maxis in gauzy chiffon and flamboyant florals evoke nostalgia for the days when Ossie was still the ‘King of the King’s Road’ and dressed the rich and famous, including Bianca Jagger, Pattie Boyd and Marianne Faithfull. With his wife, the textile designer Celia Birtwell, Ossie helped define the aesthetic of their era.
