Based in Mayfair, Richard Allan was a major name in the London art and fashion scene in the 1960’s, until he sold the business and complete design archive in 1982.  His silk scarves with eclectic designs reflected the move away from past austerity towards colour and fun, perfect for London in the swinging sixties.  The designs were printed on silk at David Evans & Co in Crayford, Kent and hand hemmed in West London.  Scarves were sold in London’s iconic stores including Liberty’s, Harrods and Selfridges, the a global reputation reached Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue in New York.
