Description: This vibrant paper doll collection encompasses 50 years of British fashions, from a sensible wool suit by Queen Elizabeth's own dressmaker to a sequined denim bustier, worn with a velvet miniskirt and sneakers. Tom Tierney's meticulously researched tribute to the luminaries of Great Britain's fashion industry and their creations begins with the mid 50s and traces the rise of youth culture, led by Mary Quant's "swinging London" look of the 60s -- minis, bell bottoms, see-through garments -- and Vivienne Westwood's antiestablishment fashions of the 70s, inspired by the punk subculture. Two paper doll models come with 30 costumes by 33 designers including Laura Ashley, Bruce Oldfield, Edward Molyneaux, Ossie Clark, Caroline James, Jean Muir, Tanya Sarne and many more. Paper doll fans, fashion buffs, and Anglophiles of every age will adore this panorama of contemporary British styles.
