Granny Takes a Trip was a boutique on the King's Road in London that opened in 1966. Founded by Sheila Cohen (a vintage collector), Nigel Waymouth (the guy in the floral jacket at the top of my first post), and John Pearse (a tailor). Originally they sold vintage clothing and modified vintage gear, which eventually spawned original designs. The shop was closely associated with early psychedelic fashion and most of the stars of the era wore it (Pink Floyd, Hendrix, the Beatles, etc.)
They'd chop-up blouses and dresses to turn them into men's shirts, and use (William Morris patterned) furnishing and upholstery fabrics to make jackets. "We were dealing in vintage clothes. What appealed to us was Aubrey Beardsley and the Victorians, 'Against Nature' by Huysmans. So we were all doomed Romantics at the time. Not new Romantics, Doomed Romantics. So that was the influence - Art Nouveau" - John Pearse
Hendrix and others wearing Granny:
Supposedly Salman Rushdie lived above the shop at some point?
they redecorated a few times...
Peep that mushroom on the label:
