How does White shift dress of Jean Shrimpton elucidate its Derby Day?
Derby Day was held on 30 October 1965. As Shrimpton later recalled in her memoirs:There was absolute silence in the members' lounge at Flemington when Shrimpton arrived, two hours late, accompanied by her boyfriend, Hollywood actor Terence Stamp. Her outfit contrasted starkly with the conservative attire of the other racegoers, and she was openly scorned by them, particularly as she was defying protocol by wearing no hat, stockings or gloves. As well as being the target of catcalls from men and jeers from women, she was surrounded by kneeling cameramen, all shooting upwards to make the dress look even shorter.
