SPANNING DECADES
Even though some collectors love to mix up different eras and I always enjoy seeing their creative mixes, I rarely, if ever do that as I prefer to see the dolls in the fashions and structures they were sold in, kinda like a mini fashion time capsule of that era! But a flash of inspiration hit today … I had gotten Ken’s very groovy hooded kaftan from 1980/81; (Fashion Collectibles #1932) NRFB quite a while ago and was planning to put it on my Superstar or Roller Skating Ken, but at the last minute, decided it would look best on my Hawaiian Ken, who after all, is from that same period. I love how it looks with his original beaded necklace. I had planned to redress his mate Hawaiian Barbie in ‘Scuba-Do’s’ from 1970/71 quite a while back, (even before I got Ken’s kaftan) and suddenly realised how great these two outfits look together, even though they were sold a full decade apart … They are making quite a splash on the North Shore in their bright colours! Do you like to mix up decades with your dolls and fashions?
