SPACE Capsule Wardrobe vintage 1960s +new Rabanne Pierre Cardin Mary Quant silver gloves disc sequin top skirt dress lurex MOD Space Age
This "Styled to go" collection is a mixture of original 1960s pieces and modern pieces, themed on the Space Age 1960s look. I know how hard it is to get original 60s pieces by Paco Rabanne & Pierre Cardin, so I have put this collection together with original 1960s pieces in lurex etc for mix & match. So consider it a 'SPACE' Capsule Wardrobe ...geddit? Ideal for sci fi parties, comicons, 1960s or Mod events, shimmering in the sun by day & sparking under club lights by night in Ibiza or Brighton. Great for a holiday where you want to keep your authentic looking Space Age look but need to change tweak & mix & match so you don't look same every day. Or for that attention grabbing power point presentation on the future projections for you company at work/conference and for swift slight changes for evening in the cocktail bar!
NOTE that Rabanne top reflected ight is REAL not AI effect or anything!
The entire collection is for size 6-10 UK sizing, ideally for a size 8-10 UK. If you need measurements let me know but if you are that size all this will fit.
I have themed it on the 1969 tv series UFO, with the purple haired girls of Moonbase. That was the year Apollo 9 landed on the moon, and the space age aesthetic began in 1966 with Paco Rabanne & Pierre Cardin, influenced by the Mod look, & the Luna 9 Soviet first unmanned moon landing. So they experimented with very far out modern looks, especially with silver. Sylvia Anderson, wife of Gerry, did all the styling for the series as she had for the puppet shows like Thunderbirds & Captain Scarlet. The uniforms in Captain Scarlet were inspired by PIerre Cardin.

UFO which I have themed the style on was the first live human action tv series by the Andersons, and was very edgy for the time, 1969, set in a fictional future 1980, with organ stealing aliens from a dying planet carrying undertone of disturbing violence, and VERY sexy actors and actresses in amazing [provocative fashions, & inuendo , meaning it was soon moved to a late night adult spot. The girls on Moonbase Alpha and the Interceptor pilot comrades were the first line of defence against the alien UFOs. WELL worth a watch; low budget but incredibly iconic the fashions, and very philosophical original themes.
So you get all this, potentially £1300, for the price of £595 postage free.
I have another Space Age 60s & modern capsule collection to put on in a few weeks time on a size UK 10-12.
