Birthday Suits: Elle Captain Scarlet Clothing

I was amazed when I saw this in the Guardian archive.  

Captain Scarlet fashion! For him and her!

Would you have worn this? On your 18th birthday?

    That is pretty bizarre - especially the headgear.

  2. Fashion in the 1960s was so outrageously cool and imaginative. Such great designs, and all the colors of the rainbow. I remember the look vividly to this day (especially the girls in their miniskirts!). Nowadays, people (around here anyways) dress like hungover slobs. So ugly and drab. Ah, the 1960s. SFZ
