The French kitchen above was designed with permanent residence in mind and follows a trend that is becoming stronger all the time. Strictly functional materials and finishes, such as the stainless steel used in this kitchen, are chosen for work surfaces and equipment, yet it is the colors selected for the cabinets and room door which dominate.

Post WWII in England, Teddy Girls, sometimes called Judies, voiced their particular brand of personal rebellion by adopting a singularly androgynous look based loosely on Edwardian menswear. They had a smart, well crafted appearance that was quite at odds with the notion of rebellion. They were in fact, more intimidating because they staunchly refused to adhere to societal norms.

Along with their counterparts, the Teddy Boys, they appeared first in the working class areas of East and West London that had been hardest hit during the War. They rejected the austerity of the post war economy and essentially gave the finger to the ruling class by adopting and changing its styles.

Film director Ken Russell took these images of Teddy Girls in the Notting Hill District of London in the mid 50s. - Attire's Mind
