For almost forty years one of Britain's most important photographic archives has remained unseen. Created by the legendary fashion editor Ernestine Carter for The Sunday Times, this vast collection of images contains some of the finest photo-shoots of the Sixties. Photographing Fashion champions the best of British chosen by Carter during this incredible decade: photographers John Cowan, Terence Donovan, John French and Patrick Hunt capture the mood, with the clothes of Mary Quant, John Bates, Gina Fratini, Foale & Tuffin, Biba, Jean Muir and Ossie Clark. The emphasis is on an unswerving eye for style, with fresh visions of everything from ball gowns to beachwear. Unparalleled photographs, groundbreaking fashion, all published for the first time since they appeared in the decade that still defines British style.
