Quote:
Sylvia Ayton (1937-) and Zandra Rhodes (1940-).
c. 1966. Paper, Lent by Sylvia Ayton MBE
Sylvia Ayton and Zandra Rhodes's innovative designs were taken up by boutiques and some of the more commercial stores. When Miss Selfridge opened in 1966, the buyer stocked their distinctive printed paper dresses. Customers loved them, but kept tearing the hems to see if they really were made out of paper - they were!
