Book excerpt: Turn back the clock to the 1970s, to a brief, beautiful period in fashion history when nostalgia ruled London fashion. Popular paper doll artist Brenda Sneathen Mattox captures this look just as it was worn by two typical London dolly birds. A cheeky dialogue accompanies the outfits for Felicity Greenwood, production assistant on the British TV show, Top of the Pops, and Polly Morgan, department manager at London's trendiest store, Biba. The super-trendy pair chat about their lives and love of fashion as they shop and try-on 16 nostalgic looks inspired by the Art Nouveau and Art Deco revival of the 1970s. Includes essay by acclaimed trend forecaster and fashion expert David Wolfe and cheeky dialogue by Prof. Amanda Hallay.
