- Story Text: NOT CONTENT WITH THE SEE-THROUGH LOOK, TWO OF LONDON'S MOST AVANT-GRADE YOUNG FASHION DESIGNERS HAVE BROUGHT OUT THE "NUDE LOOK." OSSIE CLARK AND ALICE POLLOCK, OF QUOROM, HAVE SHOWN THEIR DARING DESIGNS TO LONDON'S FASHION COMMUNITY.
THE CLARK-POLLOCK TEAM CLAIM TO HAVE SHOWN THE MAXI AND THE SEE-THROUGH LOOK "BEFORE PARIS EVEN THOUGHT OF IT." NOW THEY HAVE ADDED NEW SPICE WITH OPEN-HANGING JACKET-AND-PANTS SUITS WORN WITHOUT A BRA.
EVEN BELTED JACKETS AND KIMONOS IN THEIR COLLECTION ARE OPEN IN A WIDE VEE TO THE NAVEL. MOST OF THE DRESSES ARE A FEW INCHES BELOW THE KNEE. BECAUSE THE DESIGNERS SAY THEY ARE BORED WITH THE HEMLINE CONTROVERSY.
BOTH DESIGNERS ARE 26 AND AMONG THEIR CLIENTS ARE THE BEATLES AND THEIR WIVES, AND BRIGITTE BARDOT. WITH THEIR NEW COLLECTION, THEY'VE WHIPPED UP SOME ACCESSORIES FOR THE TIMID -- BLOUSES, TO MATCH THE BRA-LESS PANTS AND JACKETS.
