Throwback Thursday: Ossie Clark in 2005, 2011, 2019

February 21, 2019 by WendyB

In my tribute to my late friend Al Radley, I posted a photo taken in his house in 2005. The long sweater I’m trying on belonged to him, but I was wearing my own vintage Ossie Clark dress. In 2011, I took a photo that showed the dress clearly. And last Friday, I randomly wore…

RIP, Al Radley

February 18, 2019 by WendyB

My friend Al Radley died at age 94 on Valentine’s Day, and London won’t be the same for me without a visit with him. I first met Al at his home there in March 2005, following an introduction by our mutual friend Cameron Silver, the founder of the Los Angeles vintage store Decades. Cameron knew…

Wanderlust 2015: London, Bath and Alexander McQueen

August 12, 2015 by WendyB

I’m in need of a vacation … from the vacation I just took. MrB and I like to spend our off-time in other cities, especially London and Paris. We wind up dashing from dinners with friends to the theater, from the theater to concerts, from concerts to museums. Last year, we got in some relaxation…

London, Day 2: The Wizard of Ossie

July 10, 2008 by WendyB

Today was all about Ossie Clark. Ossie obsessives like gorgeous blogger Sharon Rose know that the late designer, who was never good with money, sold his financially troubled line to clothing manufacturer Al Radley in the ’70s. (A large percentage of the vintage Ossies floating around nowadays are from the Ossie Clark for Radley line.)…

Ossie’s Back! Part 2

November 9, 2007 by WendyB

Bad photo of a nice Ossie 2004 I had a nice chat with Al Radley this week. Al is the clothing manufacturer who owned the rights to the Ossie Clark name and just did a deal to revive the line. He bought the rights in the late ’60s when Ossie was deeply in debt (clothes…

Year in Review: Remembrances

December 31, 2019 by WendyB

I’ve had a hanging shoe rack inside my closet door for a long time. Since last month, the bottom few racks keep collapsing for no clear reason — they’ve done it even when there are no shoes on them. Towards the end of November, the bottom four racks fell down with a big bang, sending…
