daring indeed

This may be the best and gayest thing I have ever seen in my life: a newsreel clip of a British men's fashion show from 1951. It was connected to the Festival of Britain, which was meant to showcase a bright postwar Britain moving forward. Clothing rationing had ended just two years earlier; perhaps a lingering thrifty impulse explains the shortness of the shorts?
