What about try to look at the library? I know for instance the library at
Museum of Decorative Arts in Copenhagen takes home all the fashion journals,
and i think they have archived these.

Subject: [h-cost] Query about Mod and the mid-1960's
Greetings everyone!
I'm popping out of lurkdom after Worldcon and Loscon to ask for help while
setting up another group set of costumes for next year's Friday Night Fun.
Wonder of wonders, they are pulling me out of medieval era
clothing/costume and into making more early-to-mid 20th century stuff.
The theme is "Mod" as in the mid 1960's. My tighter focus, at least in
theory, is going to be closer to the items worn by Diana Riggs in the
Avengers, or one of the other similar designers, but I am also finding
interesting comments about a couple of other designers. I'll share a few
of the ones I don't want for myself with some of the other folks doing the
theme who haven't chosen yet as well.
So my request is help in finding photos of garments made by John Bates
(Jean Varon), Andre Courneges, or Paco Rabanne. I'll be trying to
determine a fiber which I can easily wear, as most of the polyester I
remember from that time (since I was well, very young then) makes me break
out in serious cases of the itchies now.
My husband's first vote is for the immediately identifiable first season
Emma Peel leather catsuit, but I want to see a few other ideas before I
make up my mind. (*grin*)
Then to find a nice pair of 1940's patterns for me- one for day and one
for evening!
Thank you,
Jonnalyhn Wolfcat aka Angharat
