EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1966, Emma Booker and Clare Peploe proudly display their latest fashion discoveries in front of a butcher shop in London. Both women wear striking yellow embroidered Afghan sheepskin jackets, which they would later sell in their shop, The Yellow Room. The jackets, adorned with intricate designs and vibrant colors, were a prototype of the trend that would soon sweep the fashion world. Emma and Clare, two visionary women of the Swinging Sixties, were known for their unique sense of style and their commitment to bringing exotic and unconventional clothing to the British market. In this image, they are seen wearing matching yellow skirts and hats, adding to their coordinated and eye-catching appearance. The Afghan sheepskin jackets were just one of many innovative fashion finds that Emma and Clare brought to their shop. The Yellow Room, located in Notting Hill, quickly became a hub for young, fashion-forward women looking to make a statement with their clothing. The shop's eclectic mix of Eastern and Western styles, combined with its welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, made it a favorite destination for those seeking to express their individuality. This photograph captures a moment in time when Emma and Clare were on the cusp of making a significant impact on the fashion industry. Their bold and daring approach to clothing would help define the Swinging Sixties and leave a lasting legacy on fashion history.
