A woman's Antony Price for Sterling Cooper lurex brocatelle jacket, 1971, labelled, in shades of burgundy and gold, of slim-cut, with notched lapels and two pockets, chest 96cm, 38inProvenance: The Sheilagh Brown archive. Stirling Cooper was started by two London cab drivers Ronnie Stirling and Jeff Cooper in 1967, sometimes using a double-decker bus as a showroom. They were introduced to Royal College of Art graduate Jane Whiteside, who provide the initial fashion direction for the brand, with her first designs created in March 1968 and being featured in The Times. In October 1969 Stirling Cooper formally opened a boutique in Wigmore St, recruiting the then 24 year-old Antony Price to design their first menswear collection. The Times fashion journalist Anthony King-Deacon previewed the new men's range, describing Price as 'one of the brightest young men in menswear designing in London'. His designs attracted movers and shakers of the time, notably Mick Jagger. In 1970 Antony asked Sheilagh Brown to join himself and Jane Whiteside (both were her peers at the RCA) as a co-designer at Stirling Cooper. In 1972 the original partner's split, with Ronnie Sterling remaining at the helm. Jeff Cooper went on to create the 'Cooper's' brand, working with Sheilagh Brown and Sheridan Barnett, and then onto work with Radley/Quorum. The Sterling Cooper brand eventually ceased trading in the 1990s.British fashion designer Sheilagh Brown began her career as part of the 'Swinging London' scene during the 1960s. She attended the Royal College of Art, under the tutelage of Professor Janey Ironside, and Bill Gibb was in Sheilagh's peer group. Whilst still a student, she earned money drawing fashion illustrations for publications including The Times, The Observer, Petticoat and 19. She recalls that one of the perks of the job was that the clothes would arrive on a Friday night and herself and friends would wear them to a party, before she stayed up all night to sketch and then return them. Brown went on to design for Stirling Cooper, Cooper's and Quorum, before establishing the label Barnett & Brown in 1976 with Sheridan Barnett, which dissolved in 1980. She went onto be a principle lecturer at Central Saint Martins, her students at this time including John Galliano , Iain R Webb and John Flett. She also taught at the Royal College of Art (becoming a senior fellow in 2011) with former student Phillip Treacy noting her as one of his most influential teachers. During this period she continued to design as part of a collaboration with Jeffery Rogers. In 1990, Brown became the head of womenswear design at Marks & Spencer, where she would remain for more than a decade, retiring in 2001. The Victoria & Albert Museum holds a number of her designs in their collection. Brown continues to work both as a designer and fashion artist. CONDITION REPORT: Good condition. A few floating gold threads to front hem edge, minor.
