Title
Shops in King's Road
Description
Front and side elevations of the newly expanded John Michael boutique, situated at 106-108 King's Road, Chelsea. John Michael Ingram is credited as one of the pioneers of the rise of the King's Road as a fashion destination. He started by selling men's shirts in unusual prints and fabrics, targeting younger buyers who were keen to wear clothing inspired by Italian menswear trends. He gained a following amongst musicians such as The Beatles, The Who, the Rolling Stones and Marc Bolan and creatives types such as David Hockney, Francis Bacon and Peter Cook. On the back of this, his suits became desired items for working class Mods. Front elevations of a few of the houses on the east side of Anderson Street, a few pedestrians, a black cab and the zebra crossing across Anderson Street are visible.
