Fashion in Folkestone in the 1960s

It's taken a lot of work to do this page as there were a large number of fashion shows in the sixties.  Mum and Dad seemed to have been commissioned to photograph most of them....

In preparing these pictures it struck me that looking around them, not only their sheer quality but that each of the public events appears to have been filled to capacity, studying the audiences has also been a source of entertainment for me, the research has also provided me with enough content for another page about models of the time! (coming soon)

There is far too much material for me to add even just something from every job so what follows is, I hope a good representation of the available photographs and also of what retail fashion was like for small town Folkestone....
