Series 3. Fashion design, circa 1960s-1970s

 Series

Scope and Contents

This series is comprised of approximately 150 fashion sketches, primarily black and white sketches of womenswear, but also a handful of menswear sketches. A small number of sketches are rendered in color. Newspaper clippings in the collection reveal that Mackintosh designed womenswear sold under the name Musette in the 1960s, and went on to design for the Paul Rogers company in the 1970s. Musette was designed for teenagers and the clothes had a distinctly youthful sixties appeal. The understated elegance of the Paul Rogers collection was directed at a more mature clientele. The majority of the womenswear sketches are unidentified, and these are classified here by garment type. Some of the sketches includes swatches.
