LIFE INTERNATIONAL Vol. 41, #1 (Amsterdam: Time-Life International, July 11, 1966).

Includes an 8pp. cover feature - “Spread of Swinging Revolution” - reporting on London’s latest men’s fashions (“based on the sexual excitement principle”) and their international influence. Prints 18 photographs by Terence Spencer (one full-page in colour), as well as the front cover, which pictures Ossie Clark in the centre flanked by two models posing in front of Granny Takes a Trip.

Includes shots of John Stephen with his Cadillac in Carnaby Street; Michael Chaplin and Nigel Waymouth at Granny Takes a Trip on the King’s Road; a group shot of The Kinks (accompanied by a quote from “Dedicated Follower of Fashion”); Christopher Gibbs (“a leader of Chelsea’s chic bluebloods”); David Hemmings being fitted for a suit; Ossie Clark in The Salisbury, St. Martin’s Lane; and images of mens’ fashions from the “switched on” parts of America. The article ends with a quote from Julie Christie: “isn’t it nice that men can look beautiful and smell nice nowadays without being called sissies!”

Also: “Anarchism comes to Holland”, a 4pp. photo-illustrated feature on the Provos in Amsterdam, picturing Roel van Duyn in bed with his cat, “an Anarchist by birth”.

Very Good.
