Clive Evans, better known as Clive, was a London-born fashion designer of the 1960s who attracted a number of celebrity fans and was promoted internationally as a high fashion designer from Swinging London. Operating initially as a couture designer – and at a time when fashion was undergoing a radical shift towards mass-market and ready-to-wear – he was described by ''The Times'' fashion editor Prudence Glynn in 1972 as: "the last flowering on the tree of British couture". ==Early life and career== Evans was born in London into a medical family, claiming six generations of doctors came before him.〔 He chose not to follow family tradition and spent time in the navy, also training as a journalist and working as a porter.〔 Having completed a course at Canterbury College of Art Evans began his fashion apprenticeship with Michael of Carlos Place before working at Lachasse and John Cavanagh – all were members of the Incorporated Society of London Fashion Designers (IncSoc), giving him an impeccable grounding in the London couture scene.〔 While working at Lachasse, he won both first and second prize in a design competition organised by the International Wool Secretariat.〔〔 After a spell working with Berketex (then a wholesale house) as an assistant within its ready-to-wear department, he showed his first collection in 1963 in a borrowed space.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clive Evans (fashion designer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
