Роллинг Стоунз. Маленькие истории обо всём.
"Пальто из кенгуру".
Мы все помним обложку "Между пуговиц" (кстати, соглашусь с теми из вас, кто считает, что фото было выбрано не самое удачное - просто посмотрите на другие снимки Гереда Манковица с этой сессии) и необычное, словно сделанное из какого-то психоделичного плюша, пальто Брайана Джонса. Вот небольшая история этой вещи.
Итак, посмотрим заметку из австралийской газеты "The Canberra Times" - номер от 5 апреля 1966 года. Примечания - мои.
"Kangaroo coats for The Stones.
The Rolling Stones have started a fashion in London for
kangaroo fur — for men.
Since The Stones first appeared in the kangaroo coats they gathered on their Australian tour*, they have become the wil-hit thing to wear.
Those photographs, just received from England, show Mick Jagger and Keith Richard** in their coats. They bought them in Sydney from Lord and Masters, a fashion house parlly-owned by Peter Clifton, son of Mr and Mrs E. Clifton, of Narrabundah***.
Seven coats were chosen by The Stones, three of them for girl friends****.
Mick Jagger got one for Chris Shrimpton, Jean Shrimpton's sister, with whom he has been seen about
a lot lately.
Peter Clifton, whose fashion house specialises in leather, suede and kangaroo fur wear, hopes to stage a parade of his styles soon in Canberra.
Formerly in the advertising business, Peter decided to concentrate on designing last year. His first step was to visit Italy, England and the US to study the latest trends in leather and fur.
Two salons.
The tour took two months. When he arrived back in Australia, Peter immediately went into partnership with an old friend, Peter Ryan, and together they opened a salon at St.Ives, Sydney.
This has been so successful that they have now opened a second salon in Double Bay.
Peter Clifton still designs most of the styles but a panel of designers has been organised to help with ideas and cope with latest overseas trends.
In Canberra last weekend, Peter, who was celebrating his 25th birth day, talked of long-range plans to establish a Lord and Masters salon here."
Примечания:
*речь идёт о втором австралийском турне Роллинг Стоунз с 18 февраля по 2 марта 1966 года.
**очередной досадный, но ожидаемый "ляп" газетчиков - Брайана перепутали с Китом Ричардом. Подпись под фото, разумеется, также ошибочна.

****кому достались ещё два пальто? :-)
