EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1966, English designer Lee Bender is seen effortlessly exuding style as she goes about her daily errands in Great Tichfield Street. Clad in a chic white leopard-print Coney coat, Bender's timeless elegance shines through, even while shopping at her local greengrocer. Lee Bender, an accomplished manufacturer and designer, was the creative force behind the iconic Lee Cecil clothing brand. Her innovative designs revolutionized the women's fashion scene during the Swinging Sixties, a decade marked by bold colors, daring prints, and a newfound emphasis on personal expression. The leopard print Coney coat, with its swinging silhouette and playful pattern, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the era. Bender's impeccable sense of style is on full display, as she pairs the coat with a simple, yet stylish outfit that complements the bold print without overshadowing it. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of a groundbreaking designer, whose influence on the fashion industry would continue to grow in the years to come. Founding the incredibly successful chain of women's fashion shops, Bus Stop, Bender solidified her place in fashion history as a trailblazer and a trendsetter. As we admire this image, we are transported back to the 1960s, a decade of change, creativity, and self-expression. Lee Bender's enduring style serves as a reminder of the power of individuality and the transformative impact of fashion on our lives.
