Vintage High Street
TESCO
Remember the big old boxes of Daz and the rows of Campbell’s tomato soup? Remember the Green Shield Stamps and the spectacular glamour of the check-out assistants? Return to the 1960s shopping experience at Goodwood in 2012, as you step across the aisles and back in time at Tesco’s 1966 replica store. The doors of the 1,700sqft supermarket swing open on the morning of the 14th of September, so pop along to feast your eyes on some of your favourite products from the era, complete with retro packaging, and experience Tesco retailing 1960s-style.
KENWOOD
Kenwood took a step back in time to the 1940s in 2011 where meals from a budget were the order of the day, and ‘Corned Beef Hash’ was an all too familiar dish on many tables across Britain. Other classic dishes from the era include ‘Peppermint creams’ and ‘Apple Jelly’. Fast forward in time to the 1960s where ‘Quick Party Food’ recipes ruled, dishes include ‘Fresh Fruit Salad’ ‘Scandinavian Canapés’ and even ‘Chicken Kievs’. All of these great recipes where whipped up by a variety of guest Chefs in a replica 1940’s and 1960’s kitchen at 2011's Goodwood Revival.
BIBA
Biba was the brainchild of Barbara Hulanicki and her husband Stephen Fritz-Simon. Starting life as a small mail-order company Biba opened its first store on Abingdon Road, Kensington in 1964. A legion of fans and celebrities followed quickly and the logo soon became synonymous with the coolest fashionistas. Shortly after Barbara sold the majority of stores due to financial reasons Biba closed its doors in 1975. The Biba fashion brand was re-launched in 2010 by House of Fraser and the Goodwood Revival celebrated the return of this iconic 60’s brand with a special Biba store at 2011's event.
VIVIEN OF HOLLOWAY
A life-long Fifties lifestyle and fashion enthusiast, Vivien began sewing vintage-style clothes for herself at a mere ten years old. You can be transformed into a cheesecake pin-up, a femme fatale, a saucy Mad Men-era office girl, or a WWII working girl. Their clothes are proudly made in the UK and are loved by well-dressed women (and men!) across the globe; from rockabilly gals and swing dancers, to re-enactors and even celebrities! As well as producing gorgeous vintage-style clothing, they also pride themselves on good old-fashioned customer service. For Vivien, it's not just about looking the part, it's about the whole lifestyle. As Vivien says “We're just trying to make the world a more fabulous and glamorous place, day by day.” See Vivvien Holoway on the Vintage High Street at the Goodwood Revival.
