The Peacock Revolution

Prominent Designer

Mr. Fish in particular is a prominent figure of the Peacock Revolution, some even calling him the father of the revolution. Mr. Fish was founded and owned by Michael Fish, who became well known due to his contributions to the Peacock Revolution. His designs included the signature bright colors and unusual textures that defined the revolution. 

One of his biggest impacts and most notably known items of clothing was the famous kipper tie. He also designed a dress meant to be worn by men that ended up being modeled by both David Bowie (in his album art) and Mick Jagger during a concert of his.
