This authentic colour photograph captures an unusual Carnaby Street scene at the start of the 1970s, when the energy of Swinging London was still very much in evidence. A horse-drawn carriage, painted in black and red and carrying the John Stephen, Carnaby Street name, stands outside the Universal Commissions building as shoppers and passers-by move around it. John Stephen, often called the King of Carnaby Street, played a central role in turning the street into one of London’s most famous fashion destinations during the 1960s, and publicity stunts like this formed part of its distinctive character. With its mix of bold menswear shops, visitors, and street theatre, the image preserves a lively moment from the period when Carnaby Street remained one of the capital’s most photographed and fashionable locations.
