Golf Ensemble

c.1908

This smart golf costume was worn by Heather Firbank (1888-1954). It consists of a masculine flat cap, a tailored jacket based upon a man's Norfolk jacket, and matching skirt. The heavy wool tweed would have resisted snags and pulls, and is further reinforced with brown leather cuffs, collar and buttons. During the late 19th century women began regularly participating in active sports other than riding, including tennis and yachting. John Redfern was one of the first couturiers to design special clothing for the new active woman. His beautifully constructed, practical tailored outfits were adopted as everyday wear by his fashionable clients, including royalty and actresses. Other couturiers and dressmakers followed this lead, creating tailored coat and skirt ensembles which could be worn both on and off the sports field.

Heather Firbank was a beautiful, fashionable young woman who bought expensive high-style clothing from leading London couturiers, including Redfern. She bought this outfit from Frederick Bosworth, a ladies' tailor and Court dressmaker who worked from New Burlington Street. Prior to founding his own business in 1902, Frederick Bosworth Mims had been manager of the London branch of Redfern Ltd.

The Fool

1967

The Fool were a Dutch design collective led by Marijke Koger and Simon Posthuma, best known for their work with the Beatles, which included designing the tunics the band wore for their 1967 television broadcast of All You Need Is Love, decorating John Lennon's piano and George Harrison's Mini, painting a circular mural at the Harrisons' Surrey home Kinfauns, designing the inner sleeve of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band LP and, most famously, painting a three-story psychedelic mural on the facade of the Beatles' short lived Apple Boutique in London's Baker Street, which was subsequently painted over by order of the local council. Pattie Boyd and her sister Jenny were fans of the collective and would model their clothing designs for the Apple Boutique. According to Boyd, this brocade ensemble was custom made for her by The Fool and she recalls wearing it during a trip to Greece with all four Beatles in July 1967 to explore the possibility of buying a set of Greek islands.
