Description
Paper photograph of four women and one man modeling Hardy AMIES at Earls Court. The man is in a knee-length cotton satin striped night-shirt and mules. The women are wearing ensembles made of Dunlop Vinolay floor covering with matching advertisement dangle earrings and open-toed lattice slingback sandals. From left to right: A woman is modeling a boatneck bodice made of overlapping round tiles with a quatrefoil pattern on top of a quatrefoil patterned straight mini skirt. She is accessorized with a headband on the crown of her head and a metallic bracelet. The next woman is wearing a v-neck sleeveless mini dress of Roman-inspired tile mosaic. The skirt of the dress is in pteruges style with missing strips making a slit on each leg. The last two women are both wearing squareneck tanktop mini dresses of overlapping tiles with snowflake prints, except the first model has hexagonal-shaped tiles, and the last model’s tiles are quatrefoil shaped.
