The red, black, and cream stripes in this man’s suit exemplify the foppish style of 1960s swinging London. Outlandish suits from the boutique Granny Takes a Trip were described as “a 1960s reinvention of fin-de-siècle dandyism.” This boutique boosted an eclectic array of one-of-a-kind garments, originating a variety of trends.
