1950s-inspired Fred Perry Laurel Wreath Collection by Richard Nicoll

Fp1

Ken Russell's iconic images of 1950s Teddy Girls provide the inspiration for the new Fred Perry Laurel Wreath Collection by Richard Nicoll.

It's the first collection by Nicoll for Fred Perry, which promises 'Edwardian dandiness' and vintage reference points like pointelle cardigans and mother of pearl brooches, as well as period colours to create something modern, but with a distinctly 1950s twist.

You can find out for yourself if it works from Monday 10th January, which is when the collection goes on sale online and instore. Or you can check the images above and over the page. Prices, as you can imagine, vary.

In With The In Crowd 1960s-style dresses

Crowd1

We featured these over at our Modculture site yesterday, but we suspect there will also be an interest in the In With The In Crowd dresses and clothing line over here too.

In With The In Crowd's Melissa recently started designing and making her own dresses and jackets because she couldn't find anything suitable for herself, with all items produced 'to a high quality', fully lined and with 60s-style detailing (like covered buttons for example).

Prices start at £32.99, although Melissa has sent across a discount code too – if you enter the code RetroToGo at the checkout, you'll get another 15 per cent off. See more designs over the page or check out the site for even more.

Miss Ann Darrow dress by Able Grable

Able

The party season may be well and truly over for now but the Miss Ann Darrow dress from Able Grable will give you picture perfect 1930s chic at any occasion.

Inspired by the character played by silver screen icon Fay Wray in the original King Kong, this elegant silk & satin cocktail dress is as glamourous as it's namesake. The oversized bow accent and flattering puff sleeves wouldn't look out of place on any red carpet in the heyday of Hollywood.

The Miss Ann Darrow dress is £119.99 and is made to order for a flawless fit. Available in 14 different colours ('Kingfisher' pictured).

Moxi Lolly Roller Skates

Mlskates 
Roller skates, as opposed to the modern rollerblades, will always have a retro look, but these Moxi Lolly Roller Skates have an especially 1970s look to them.

They are available in a choice of strawberry or teal, both having a tan plastic sole and clear and would be perfect for a night at your local roller disco (should such a thing still exist).

Sadly for us the UK, these roller skates are exclusive to Urban Outfitters and only available for delivery in the USA. If that doesn’t preclude you, then they cost $299.
