MPX5074575: The Italian beaches are the place to see some stunning creations-girls, men, and especially clothes. Look at these examples in towelling. This fabric is the answer to a maiden's prayer when she's planning her beside the-seaside wardrobe. The sandwich-board job is the brainchild of Teddy Tinling of Wimbledon fame.

MPX5074693: "Your tea, madame" says the Lake District constable as he opens up the cells to arouse a holiday maker who had nowhere else to sleep the night. Scenes like this were not uncommon at Kendal, where every holiday makes who could not find accommodation went to the police station looking for help. Those who said they would "sleep anywhere" were fitted up in a cell for the night. They had to leave early next morning, but received apologies of the police for accommodation which was not entirely up to "Grand Hotel" standards. April 1946 / Bridgeman Images
MPX5074790: Fashion 1960s. Today (25.6.62) the Wimbledon championships start. Which means a lot of tennis and a little fashion. Yesterday (24.6.62) was "getting to know you" day for the stars. Which meant a little tennis and a lot of fashion. Under the chestnut trees at London's Hurlingham Club, the women showed off their outfits at a reception staged by the International Lawn Tennis Association of Great Britain. So did one of the men. America's Gardnar Mulloy. Side by side in Fred Perry dresses are Florence de la Courtie, from France, and Silvana Lazzarino, from Italy. Silvana's dress is trimmed with ostrich feathers. For Florence, it's frills. June 1962 / Bridgeman Images
