The Downfall of London’s Swingin’ & Rockin’ Dandie Fashions… Thanks to The Beatles
<p>Initially fronting the establishment were Crittle and Browne. John Crittle was an Australian-born fashion designer who had moved to London around 1963–64, quickly finding himself involved in the pop-culture scene of the time. By 1965, Crittle had secured a job working for Michael Rainey in his boutique Hung On You. Tara Browne had similarly moved to London from Ireland to join the swinging counterculture. Finding himself the heir to the Guinness fortune, Browne was well-established among the elite, both the posh and rock & roll. He was friends with the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, reportedly having introduced Paul McCartney to an LSD trip for the first time, and having flown out Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, and Anita Pallenberg to his family’s estate in the mountains of Wicklow for his opulent 21st birthday party.</p>
