Although often thought of as an iconic doll of the 1960s, the Daisy doll was released in the UK in 1973. Marketed as ‘Mary Quant makes Daisy the best dressed doll in the world’, the 9-inch tall doll used Mary Quant’s signature daisy logo. Quant was one of Britain’s leading fashion designers – the inventor of both the mini skirt and hot pants.
Daisy’s outfits were cutting edge 70s design. Patterns were of the moment, featuring graphic shapes, flowers, stripes, and polka dots. Footwear was just as fashionable – with platform clogs and sandals in every color, and Go-Go Boots with the Quant daisy on the side. More details and photos can be found here.
