Description

In his up to date paper doll tribute to high fashion of past decades, artist Tom Tierney spotlights the bold colors, miniskirts, and offbeat accessories that typified high fashion of the 1960s. Included are stunning creations by a new wave of young designers who exalted youth and promoted the “little girl look” at the same time as catering, for the primary time in fashion history, to the tastes of working-class consumers.
Extensively researched and painstakingly rendered, this dramatic full-color collection includes two dolls, each and every with 15 additional costumes, among them such cutting edge items as a spectacular Saint-Laurent see-through get dressed (strategically embellished with bands of beads); CourrĂ©ges’ cutting edge pantsuit of navy jersey; an evening get dressed of gilded plastic rectangles joined by metal links, created by Paco Rabanne; Mary Quant’s wool minidress, with an industrial zipper down the font; a Bill Blass above-the-knee-length wedding get dressed of white silk crepe trimmed with snow-rose scallops, and Rudi Gernreich’s ankle-length, free-swinging print get dressed.
Additional outfits by such veterans of high fashion as Nina Ricci, Balmain, Givenchy, Patou, Chanel, and others complete this full-color fashion extravaganza. A fact-filled introduction provides historical background to the sixties fashion scene, and captions in short describe each and every costume.
