One of my better #ArchiveFashion days with Niamh MC Brennan and Arlene Crampsie DonegalArchives 😂 #Archive30
Designed by Queen Elizabeth II's couturiers Norman Hartnell and Simone Mirman, this uniform was to show 'elegance with authority'. It also led one newsreel to talk of 'the 'New Look' of Scotland Yard', but proved impractical & only lasted 1968-1972. #ArchiveFashion #Archive30

In 1959, orangutan Sandra tries on hats with the Woodland Park Zoo director... for some reason. 👒
Sandra was a young orang taken from the wild — as they all were. Most didn't survive into adulthood. Records for Sandra drop off 5 years after this. 💔
