Monsoon
This spring/summer collection catalogue from 1983 for the women's fashion store Monsoon includes knitwear, drop-waist dresses, two-piece suits, shawls, cummerbunds and culottes.
Peter Simon started Monsoon in London in 1972, focusing his designs on clothes with ethnic origins. Items were tailored according to western style using materials sourced from Malta and later India and the Far East. The business expanded rapidly, incorporating the shop Accessorize and ranges for men, babies and the home. By 2005 there were over 300 Monsoon and Accessorize stores in the UK and Eire as well as outlets all over the world.
