Raymond "Ossie" Clark was an English fashion designer who hit his peak between 1965-1974. He and his textile designing wife, Celia Birtwell, designed clothing for the rich and famous. He dubbed himself a "master cutter" while the fashion press called him "The King of King's Road". Clark's love of dance inspired his clothes to be free moving. He was well known for his use of muted colors and moss crepe fabric. Early in his career, Ossie studied architecture which he deemed "invaluable" in teaching him proportion. Eventually, he attended the Royal College of Art where his first fashion show was a huge success. Unfortunately, he was not a good business manager and the excesses of the times took a toll on his marriage and ultimately, his life. At the age of 54, he was stabbed to death by a much younger gay lover. Today, his designs are worn by the likes of Kate Moss, Cate Blanchett, Nicole Ritchie and Emma Watson.
