Sixty years ago, Flair featured this cheerful "playsuit" for wear on the beach.
Our Cover: Looking sunwards, a playsuit of spanking white Arnel sharkskin, amusingly stencilled with a giant-sized sunflower [you can reverse the jacket back-to-front if you wish . . . makes no difference]; made by Aywan, the set is priced at about £6:15:0...
"Sharkskin", thank goodness, is not made from the real skins of real sharks. It is a twill-weave fabric with "a distinctive sheen" and can be made from many kinds of fibres. In this case "Arnel" was the trademarked name of a brand of triacetate fibre.
