EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of 1960s fashion, this print takes us back to a time when style and sports collided at the prestigious Wimbledon championships. On June 25th, 1962, as the tournament commenced, the stars of tennis and fashion converged in a delightful display of elegance and athleticism. The day before marked an enchanting 'getting to know you' affair for these renowned figures. Held amidst the shade of chestnut trees at London's Hurlingham Club, it was here that the International Lawn Tennis Association of Great Britain organized a reception where outfits took center stage. Not only did women grace the event with their stunning ensembles but also one man stood out among them all – America's Gardnar Mulloy. In this image, two women stand side by side in Fred Perry dresses – Florence de la Courtie from France and Silvana Lazzarino from Italy. While Silvana's dress is adorned with delicate ostrich feathers, Florence opts for frills that add a touch of playfulness to her ensemble. Transported back to June 1962 through this photograph, we witness how fashion effortlessly intertwined with sporting events during this iconic era. It serves as a reminder that even on hallowed grounds like Wimbledon, style had its place alongside fierce competition.
