Its standard lines consisted of psychedelic shirts, kipper ties, military uniforms, shimmering sharkskin suits, frilly shirts, jackets with velvet cuffs, and other such flamboyant garments. Its avant-garde approach to clothes, and the clients it attracted, such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and Terence Stamp, meant that it became part of the culture of the swinging sixties, and the shop is considered now as occupying an important place in fashion history: 'Its customers were the real departure from the routine, for they were almost exclusively the new male dandies invented by the 1960s, a taboo-breaking mixture of social and rock aristocracy as never encountered before.' (Richard Lester, Boutique London: Kings Road to Carnaby Street, 2010) (1)
