Vic Elmes, fashion trendsetter! In the early Christie years, Vic obviously had a favourite shirt — a smart, yellow top with frills.

VIC has been pictured wearing that shirt in various publicity photos of the group, even when the shoots were done at different locations and different times. Vic also wore the shirt for the first Yellow River video.
   Fans loved the shirt, and some even wrote in to magazines asking where they could buy the shirt from.
   In later years, when Lem Lubin joined the group, Vic wore another shirt suspiciously resembling the first yellow one. Could this have been the same shirt, but carefully re-tailored?
