The name Plummer Roddis is often recalled fondly and with warmth. This department store was more than just a shopping destination; it stood as a prominent and beloved landmark in Southampton.
During the autumn of 1956, a photographer from the Daily Echo was present at a catwalk show to promote the fashion of the time.
During the three-day showcase, the latest autumn catalogue was presented, with reports indicating that no groundbreaking style changes had been unveiled for the year.
However, the parade captivated the audience with its unmistakable Russian flair. Numerous outfits featured Cossack-style hats, while some dresses exuded the timeless elegance of Anna Karenina.
The showcase presented a diverse selection of items, spanning a wide range of prices and catering to various preferences and budgets.
Vividly hued duffel coats and exquisite furs adorned the models with distinction.
Featuring the most current trends, the event showcased a range of fashionable outfits that were all up for grabs at the store.
