Rare Collectable 1970s Designer Vintage Ossie Clark Emerald Suede Fringe Tunic Top Size 6
An exceptional and highly collectible 1970s designer piece by Ossie Clark, crafted in rich emerald green suede and embodying the bold, free-spirited glamour that defined his work. This is a truly standout garment, cut as a longline tunic with a striking lace-up front, statement oversized collar, and dramatic full-length fringe that moves beautifully with the body. The sleeves are equally considered, featuring lace-up detailing through the cuffs, adding to the intricate, handcrafted feel of the piece. The suede itself has a natural texture that enhances the depth of the colour — a vivid emerald tone that sits somewhere between jewel-like richness and earthy 70s vibrancy. Fully lined for structure and comfort, the silhouette is slim through the body with a flattering, elongated shape that feels both powerful and effortlessly bohemian. Pieces like this capture exactly why Ossie Clark remains one of the most revered British designers of the era — theatrical yet wearable, romantic yet undeniably cool — and increasingly rare to find, particularly in such an unusual leather and fringe combination. Best suited to a modern UK size 6, based on the measurements provided, with a close fit through the bust and a non-stretch structure typical of suede. Style as the hero piece it is — worn with flared trousers or layered over a simple dress — and let the movement of the fringe do all the talking for an unforgettable 70s statement look. In good vintage condition, with some visible signs of wear consistent with age, including a few small marks to the suede and minor tears at the start of some fringe strands, as shown. Despite this, it remains an incredibly special and highly wearable collector’s piece.

MEASURED & READY TO WEAR
Carefully measured, described and prepared — no surprises.
At My Vintage, we take time to carefully measure each item of vintage clothing so that you have the best chance of ensuring a good fit whenever you buy from us. We measure the clothing laid flat as the diagrams show below and for bust, chest, waist and hips we double the measurement. For example, if the waist measures 17" across when laid flat then this would equate to a 34" waist (17 x 2 = 34)
We use the measurements we collate to assign each item of vintage clothing with an approximate modern-day size. For example, a dress with a 34" bust, 28" waist and 34" hips would normally equate to a current UK size 10. The labels on vintage clothing can vary massively depending on country of origin and date of manufacture. Clothing sizes have changed over the years and from decade to decade we see alternative types of sizing as well as variations on the way measurements equate to dress sizes.
We always recommend that you double-check the measurements of the vintage clothing item you are interested in, ideally by measuring an item of clothing you already own and that fits well, and comparing these measurements. There can be variations due to the desired fit, shape and fabric of an item but our size guidelines are normally very accurate and take the stress out of buying vintage online.
