RIP Antony Price, legendary fashion designer to the stars such as Bowie, Roxy Music, Mick Jagger and Duran Duran, his shows in the 80’s were a magnet for the rich and famous. He was huge in the 70’s and 80’s and then seemed to disappear from view, returning only recently with his first show for more than 30yrs before making a permanent exit soon after the praise had settled….what impeccable timing he had along with his impeccable style.
Here is Jerry Hall at a charity fashion show held at Littlecote, attended by Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger, Yasmin Le Bon and Michael Caine back in late 80’s.
