EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of the West End Arcades as depicted on the cover of The Tatler magazine in 1959. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where fashion and tradition intertwined in the heart of London. The model, dressed in an elegant coat of glove cape trimmed with luxurious white fox fur, and a matching white fox hat from Bazaar on the Kings Road by Mary Quant, exudes a timeless allure. She gracefully meets a beadle, a traditional figure often seen in London's historic arcades, such as the Burlington Arcade. The Burlington Arcade, one of the West End's most famous shopping destinations, is a picturesque covered shopping mall located in Piccadilly. Established in 1819, it is renowned for its unique charm and strict rules, including the famous "no running" rule. This cover image encapsulates the spirit of the 1950s, a decade marked by innovation and tradition. Mary Quant, a pioneer of the British fashion scene, is seen here showcasing her iconic designs, while the beadle represents the rich history and heritage of London's arcades. The Tatler magazine, a leading authority on fashion, society, and culture, perfectly captured this moment in time, offering a glimpse into the fashionable world of the West End Arcades in 1959.
