Daisy was a 1970s doll designed by British fashion designer Mary Quant. [1] Design [ edit ] Dashing Daisy Ice Queen (65703) in original boxThe name Mary Quant is synonymous with the swinging 60s. When the fashion designer opened the doors to her fashion Bazaar in London, she instantly redefined street fashion, No longer did we have to wear the same clothes as our mums and dads; now we could strut our stuff in something Mary termed a 'miniskirt' or 'hotpants'. But what's all this got to do with a doll, you might ask? By1966, many young women were wearing very short skirts and the term miniskirt was widely used. Despite attracting outrage from the older generation, the mini eventually became an accepted part of fashion as well as an international symbol of London’s youthful look and of women’s liberation.

Daisy’s Friend, Pets and Accessories

Jonsey 'Great little doll set for a toddler and with accessories too. Ideal gift given to any little girl' Above and below: Some glimpses at the Mary Quant exhibits on show at the V&A Museum in London, UK. From the diminutive Daisy doll, to full-size fashions and a giant daisy logo. The doll is 23 centimetres (9inches) tall and there are three different versions of her: "Dizzy Daisy", who has a stiff body and unbendable legs, with just her arms and legs swinging up and down from the hips and shoulders; a basic bodied version with bendable legs, as well as the swivelling arms and leg joints; and an active version called "Dashing Daisy", whose body is the most bendable. Her hair colour has ranged from different shades of blond to brunette and red.

At the same time Quant revived the boyish look of the 1920s flapper, echoing the dramatic developments in women’s lives of her parents’ generation. She displayed her clothes on gawky mannequins in unusual poses, accessorized with props such as goldfish, stuffed birds, or dead lobsters causing passersby to stop and stare. Prototype heads for Daisy doll, with a range of sculpts and painting styles. The chosen design is shown in the rare brunette version (bottom).Mary Quant runs from 6 April 2019 to 16 February 2020 at the V&A Museum.
