Given by John Stephen

Though John Stephen is often associated with the gimmicky, ephemeral aspects of Carnaby Street, he also had a rounded understanding of all aspects of the 'rag trade'. One of his lines was an update on the classic ready-made suit. In 1968 he advertised 'Mohair, cashmere, wool and worsted jackets and suits…cut with the flair of John Stephen designs - but gently.'
