The Fool was a Dutch design collective in the late '60s that specialized in psychedelic style. They designed clothes, and painted just about anything - like murals, album covers, movie sets, and instruments. The Fool became quite popular with famous talents such as the Beatles, Cream, the Hollies, the Move, and Procol Harum. Models of their clothing included the Boyd sisters and, on one occasion, Raquel Welch. Murals were painted for the Beatles' Apple Boutique and Aquarius Theatre where Hair was first performed.
