TWIGGY IN MADDIE MOD'S GROOVIN 1969
I love Maddie Mod’s funky outfits from the late 60’s/early 70’s by Mego. They are very ‘Downtown’ as opposed to Barbie’s ‘Uptown’ wardrobe. I especially wanted ‘Groovin’ from 1969 as I always thought that it was almost identical to an outfit Twiggy wore in a 1967 issue of American Vogue that you can see here. Even though that fabulous golden blouse was worn over the tights in the picture on the back of the Mego box, I wanted to try it with the tights over the blouse, as in that look that was in Vogue magazine. I wonder if the designers at Mego were inspired by that look in Vogue when designing this outfit. (My one wasn’t in the box, but I thought I would show it here NRFB, so that image was taken from an online pic.) I decided to leave the white ankle boots off so that it would look more like the outfit in Vogue, but I loved those thick, round chocolate specs and that gold purse so they were still included. And of course, the outfit had to go on my latest Twiggy! She is really groovin!
