The multi-coloured knittee bag is £6.50 at Miss Selfridge, the striped chenille legwarms are by Sunarama at £1.25 and the red cowboy boots cost £17.99 at Saxone and Lilley and Skinner.

MPX5075197: "Fashion - 1970s. Bill Gibb: A women's designer for women. His customers include Elizabeth Taylor, Twiggy and the Duchess of Bedford. Yet when designer Bill Gibb, 34, came to London 18 years ago from Fraserburgh Scotland, people asked who would ever wear his extravagant creations. The answer was, nearly everybody who is anybody, and on November 18 7,000 people from the worlds of stage, screen, fashion and beauty paid tribute to a decade of Bill Gibb at a special show at London's Royal Albert Hall. Daily Mirror fashion editor Lealey Ebbetts models Gibb's £500 1972 ""Shell"" dress made of buttermilk jersey and mother of pearl. November 1977 / Bridgeman Images

MPX5075203: Fashion 1970's. The very best of British. Fashion designers are planning a sporting life for us all later this year. And, fittingly for Jubilee Year, the great British look is the one that really matters. Even French designer Ann Dupuy of Jousse and Japanese designer Michiko have gone for hunting, shooting and fishing clothes in their autumn collections. They will be showing and - hopefully - selling them at the British Fashion Week opening in London on March 30. But the British are still the best in the world at tailoring and Jeff Banks, for example, has had his tweeds made up in a factory which also produces clothes for the eminently traditional Burberry company.
