EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1960s takes us back to an era of timeless fashion. The image showcases a stunning portrait of a bathing cap, exuding elegance and sophistication. Titled "Fashion - 1960s. Portrait of a bathing cap - look you can be in the swim like Cleo" it invites us to imagine ourselves as fashionable as the iconic Cleopatra. With its unique design reminiscent of ancient Egypt, this high-hat swimcap was unveiled at the Kleinerts fashion show in London on October 10th, 1963. Dubbed "Cleo" this head-turning accessory promises to make any water-loving Miss feel like royalty while taking a dip next summer. The caption playfully suggests that even Cleopatra herself might have donned such a hat during her famous baths in asses milk. Priced at eight guineas, it may be considered high hat for some, but its undeniable allure makes it worth every penny. Intriguingly captured in tangerine and white colors, this swim cap is bound to make heads turn with envy wherever it goes. This photograph not only captures an exquisite piece of clothing but also serves as a time capsule transporting us back to an era where style reigned supreme.
