R.I.P Vidal Sassoon

Respect goes out to the belated Vidal Sassoon (17 January 1928 – 9 May 2012).

Vidal Sassoon rose to prominence in London's swinging 1960's.  Known for creating in 1963 a short, angular hairstyle cut on a horizontal plane that was the recreation of the classic bob.

    His style was modelled by the 1960s iconic fashion designer Mary Quant. 

Due to the popularity of his styles, he was described as "a rock star, an artist, [and] a craftsman who 'changed the world with a pair of scissors.

   Modelled by Grace Coddington the classic Five Point Cut.

He will be remembered as one of the world’s most creative coiffures.

 So here is the photo. Me (well part of me) wearing my favourite 1960s Selby black patent shoes with sweet vintage 1980s Mary Quant signature tights.  In 1983 Mary Quants collection of tights, leg warmers, socks and leotards began in Japan. I have the tights available for sale,  $20 a pair at my Vintage Space facebook shop.
