FLYING HIGH (Part Two)
As we all know, the 1960s were a time of drastic change… never more so than in fashion. This was also reflected in fashions that took to the air. From Tressy’s elegant, but rather formal and staid navy blue suit in Part One, to an explosion of colour, print and boldly graphic shapes, often inspired by the ‘space race’ zooming through that decade. TNT Christie is one totally ‘Mod’ air hostess, in a wild and groovy outfit created by my talented friend Terry Fisher, who made a limited number of these outfits for the Barbie Convention that had just happened. I was lucky enough to be offered one after having admired it online! I ADORE this bright Pucci print shift (made from actual vintage fabric! Her hot pink pumps are also vintage Mod era.) Christie sasses it up with an aerodynamic tulle scarf and satin gloves (both also by Terry) … and for windy days on the runway, a very ‘Courrèges’ looking ‘leather’ cape and bubble helmet to keep that beautiful auburn-streaked bouffant in place! With her very cool hot pink and yellow rolling suitcase (also courtesy of Terry), Christie’s ready to fly the groovy skies…
