You may have noticed my fascination with zebras this week. I have looked at real life zebras and zebra print in furniture, zebra print in fashion and now continuing with zebra print accessories. How wonderful would these be with a little black dress?
Or these. Not vintage but very glam.
And this hat! I just love it. It a 1960s Schiaparelli design.
Zebra print seems to have been popular in the 1960s. Here is model Wilhelmina Cooper photographed by David Bailey for the cover of Vogue, September 1964, wearing a black and white zebra-skin scarf by Adolfo as a hat or 'burban.'
And another photo by David Bailey, for Vogue UK, September 1965, with model Sue Murray wearing a zebra print sleeveless hoodie.
This would have to be my favorite zebra outfit - from 1968.
It would be just perfect for my trip to Melbourne in June. This photo was taken only a year before I was born - I think mu mum had a hat like that!
Zebra print underwear was also a hit in the 1950's, as this lovely 1954 ad suggests.
Of course if all fails and you can't find anything to fit, you could just go with a whole zebra hide - Gary Cooper Style.
