Behind the design

These leather trousers by Hardy Amies are dated broadly to the 1970s. The photograph shows a straight leg, pressed-looking central lines and a spare waist treatment. They extend this selection beyond formal dresses and make material choice central to the study of a recognizably tailored everyday garment.
