Early mention of the brilliant John Dove and Molly White, whose incredible prints – not least their ‘Wild Thing’ t-shirt – came to define the Seventies. Please do check out their website. Wonder Workshop began in 1972, so Aspidistra must have been very short-lived.

What’s new in men’s fashion? What’s in it for them … and for us? Keep your boyfriend tuned in to Michael Heath’s fashion report
Indeed Mr Heath, ‘why pea?’ indeed… Personally I would dearly love to take my boyfriend along to Raoul Men’s Shop for a pair of brown cossack boots. And elephant cord trousers, why is elephant cord so maligned these days? The lack of these things in the world today is why life has become so dull and dreary.

Illustration by the wonderful Kasia Charko, who was an important part of the Biba experience when they moved to the Derry & Toms building – helping to create the distinctive imagery and style – and who now has her own blog. Please let me know if any of you decide to cook either of these feasts, even if (shock! horror!) it’s only for yourself…
