The History of Sindy

Now reprinted in paperback due to huge demand, The History of Sindy combines the author’s two major interests – dolls and fashion – and her specialist knowledge of both makes this book doubly fascinating.

Sindy was introduced at the beginning of the ‘swinging sixties’ in 1962, and was accompanied by a range of highly fashion-conscious clothes. She went on to become the best-selling teenage fashion doll in Britain, and was supplied with ever-changing fashions by designers including Mary Quant, Hardy Amies, the Emanuels and more recently, Vivienne Westwood. Detailed descriptions of all the changes to Sindy and her wardrobe make this book a veritable gallery of British fashions in miniature.
