Description
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.
