| Description: | This paper speaks to and reflects upon the emergence of the 1960s Model Girl and her cultural significance in post-war Britain and fashion. In drawing attention to the seemingly innocent nomenclature of the 1960s Model Girl (poetics) I point to the politics of the ‘ordinary’ as it works in the positioning of cultural identities (power). In this way the 1960s Model Girl is a type of ‘Ordinary Girl’ and is therefore also a site of both stability and transformation. The discursive formation/s of the 1960s Model Girl are both product of and productive in historical narratives; across ever-shifting economic, technological, and political landscapes; concern nation, race, class, cultures and diaspora. |
