The emphasis in the 1960's was on appealing to the mass market, however some strange things were produced and made headlines including the paper dress. This one was designed in 1966 in the USA printed on bonded fiber paper. Paper clothes were briefly in fashion between 1966-68 as the ultimate disposable item. The repeating pattern was from Op art and shows the link between design and fashion at this time. The company received over 500,000 orders for its dresses.
